Just a question on this assumption: Maybe I've missed it, but virtually every response from Thorolf on this subject has said, or at least strongly implied that the source is not and never will be available. And, to another thought that always seems to be ignored when such discussions arise: Why doesn't Serenity ever pick up some of these balls? Aside from the ultimate users of the developed coded, It seems they have the most to gain by every new device or category of device that works with eCS. Another significant advantage to SSI involvement would be that tools, drivers, etc., that are part of the system will be better tested, have a standard install approach, and would make eCS look more like a finished, complete product instead of "OS/2 with a different look and feel, plus a bunch of extras that each user has to a) find, b) install, c) update,... Yes, GenMac is part of the distribution for eCS 2.0 RC2/RC3. BUT, it installs in a different location than the stand-alone distribution which creates confusion if you attempt to install via eCS and then have to manually update with the 'secrete' test distributions. Wouldn't it be nice if eCSMT handled that task. As to financing, if SSI were doing it, an extra few bucks [generic for dollars, euros, et al ;-) ...] on every license would surely be lost in the shuffle and would more than make up for dependence on individual user contributions or fees for each copy of add-on packages. Maybe late to the party, but I just couldn't resist butting in...
