My strongest area is threads/ipc, though I could be productive in almost
any other area (file IO, generic GUI stuff ...) EXCEPT networking.
Whatever the project needs.

I brought up the IBM question with Alex earlier, but the more I think
about it the less attention I think we should pay to IBM. The nightmare
scenario for us is that IBM says "yup, we're releasing it tomorrow", we
all lose interest in the project and then IBM never releases.
GM> porting tools - concur
Having used Watcom, Borland and CSet, I'd rather use one of those, but I
can see the logic behind GCC. Whatever the project decides.

Same here.

Unencumbered sole proprietor.
What are we waiting for?
