catalog the code at some point, but that he hasn't gotten around to it (and
not to hold one's breath). I gathered that the tar ball he provided is a
snapshot of (a subset of?) the MWC development disks at the time he was
asked to create the archive. To that end, I suspect that if one were
sufficiently motivated one *could* use it to build a distribution of
COHERENT, but I suspect you'd have to know quite a bit about their internal
development practices and release processes to do so successfully;
knowledge that may very well have been lost over time. Perhaps some
motivated person will be able to reverse engineer it, though I suspect it's
more useful as a case study than as working code.
- Dan C. This is a cool development. Does this code build
into a working version
of Coherent or is this mainly useful to study? Either way, it should be
interesting to look at the code for a clone specifically aimed at low-end
hardware.

Hi Dan,
What to You mean by building distribution. The archive contains original distribution
of Coherent 4.2.10. Or You mean one could build quite new distribution ?
I mean, which would work on modern hardware ?
