Someone appears to have lost it on the FTP server.
I can't replace it for the mean time due to the AT&T/@Home meltdown.

I will see if the people that run the FTP server know what happened to it.

It was an APE port.  It had some bugs (plus I think it may have tickled
some things that aren't supported by APE).  I lost interest.

I think a native port would be better so that one could more easily write
modules for 9p, drawing, controls, etc.
