My primary analysis computers for TASS MarkIV are the sparc 10's, with linux
systems doing just data capture and routing. I would like to work with the
linux team, but I hope we will be able to port the code to Solaris 2.7. (Based
on my experience with TASS Software, I would urge Chris to be the leader of the
linux Team.)

Reminds me of an old movie where the sargent asks for volunteers, and the group
takes one giant step (Backward).
