Of course, a large part of the problem has been that I've been busy for the last while and unable to pay much attention, for which I must apologise. Right now I'm trying to catch up and get things into a good enough state to make it sensible to run a more open repository for VMMaker. Getting answers from the above mentioned people would be a big help.</div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div>tim</div><div>--</div><div>tim Rowledge; tim@rowledge.org; <a href="http://www.rowledge.org/tim">http://www.rowledge.org/tim</a></div><div>Strange OpCodes: APX: Apply Power and eXplode</div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span> </div><br></body></html>
