The question below is that the classes are named *MacOS9* so I was not  
sure if that or the unix code was in use on MacOS/X standard usage  
(what is in the full download).

A separate question: Are you working on the 64 bit VM?  Is it available  
for the G5?  I obtained the files from the CVS repository for VMMaker  
work, but are the 64bit changes in that, or another location?
