OK, I'm a lurker, just keeping an eye on what's been happening so feel free to flame me if this is out of line....

I see the web site hasn't been updated in over a year and I haven't seen a peep out of the mailing list for months.

Should I believe that everyone has given up and moved onto other things?

Just wondering.

Richard.

Probably. :(

I didn't even recall that I was subscribed to this list ... This *WAS* an
interesting project (R.I.P.) and I would have liked to work further on it,
but apparently the best I can do now is write it's obituary. I don't have
enough time  to get something started -- got my hands full with other
technical projects, school, and my new FAQ for a political discussion
group.

The only real problem I saw was this: nobody was in a clear leadership
role. There was a lot of discussion about what to do but nobody ever
stepped in to say, "this is the plan. start coding."

My opinion is that the recently announced microVAX emulator pretty much
takes away the need (see http://www.charon-vax.com (?)).

Shame really ...

You will still need an operating system with charon-vax.  It is just
what it says, a VAX emulator which is hardware emulation.

Well, not quite - there's still that darned affordability issue that won't
go away...
