You *could* perhaps maybe just have a look at what code is available, at:

http://oasis.canis.uiuc.edu:8080/Xanadu

It is incomplete, but more complete than the code currently posted
at Xanadu.  I also have linked in some of the Xanadu sites, feel free
to link in or comment on anything else that would be of use in getting
Xanadu up and running again.

ParcPlace 2.3 vintage... whoa). I think there's a lot of useful stuff there, after one deciphers the barrage of mixed metaphors in
the naming schemes. :)
