I recall David Butler's extensions to the file server, too, and I was really hoping to see those in the source tree. In fact, there is also the issue of externally supporting Alef, although Limbo may be the better option in this case. And largely it would be useful to make available second edition source code which, although obsolete, may be released either for curiosity's sake or as unsupported alternatives to newer stuff. ++L PS: Russ, could I have a copy of the Makefile/mkfile you used to compile CVS?
