It's come up once or twice.

Things seem "good enough" as they stand, and it would burn lots of time to
just get back to where we started. I've been pretty unenthusiastic about
the prospect of converting to the executable format du jour. COFF? ECOFF?
ELF? DWARF?

===change of subject===

I have a fair chunk of the MGR window system ported. I've also converted
the mouse driver to something a little more VSTa-ish in the process. I'm
taking next week off, so I hope to get some hard hack hours in on the MGR
port.
