I received a few requests to post a summary regarding the availability of SPITBOL on an Encore Multimax 320 running 4.3 BSD. So, here it is: It appears the only company actively porting SPITBOL is Catspaw. Their mail address is "cats!support@arizona.edu". Catspaw said the BSD/System V distinction was immaterial. I'll conclude from that statement that once the port is done to an Encore Multimax, Catspaw will support SPITBOL on BSD, System V, & Mach. Catspaw quoted a price of $10,000 to port SPITBOL to the Encore & estimated it would take two months to port it. That's about $9,000 more than I can find. Unless enough sites and/or Encore can chip in enough money to do the port, then I guess it won't be done. -- Rex Pruess, Weeg Computing Center, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242 rpruess@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu | rpruespb@uiamvs.bitnet | 319-335-5452
