I refer not to Franz Inc (who I am obtaining info from) but the version you get from UCB with sources. I have not seen any traffic on franz-friends mailing list in months, when I tried to send something to it it seemed like it only caused a bunch of mailer errors (tho that might mean the list is alive tho unmaintained.) It seems that very little talk here is about it, and when there is it appears that it's because it's just kinda there on the system. But I did notice that a new version was put on the 4.3bsd/beta tape which included, among other things, a sun/2 build with some sunwindows/suncore hooks. I am trying to get it up on the SUN/3 but so far the compiler and fasl loader seem to be all broken, I will continue banging away at this in my limited time but I was wondering if anyone else is doing this (or better, has done it.) There is a grad student here who would be eternally grateful if I could get the fixes needed. Thanks in advance. I didn't really want to start a discussion on the relative merits of Franz, but I posted something like this and did not get one response, posted some bug-fixes to franz-friends and never got a response or much indication that anyone read it etc etc. Just seemed strange. -Barry Shein, Boston University
