That is the goal. _Iff_ the existing binaries won't run under vanilla V6: For me, going the Apout route would require learning about Apout. Bringing up the MIT-V6+ under an emulator (so they could be run) would be a _lot_ less work, since I'm already intimately familiar with it, and I already have vanilla V6 running under an emulator (which I could use to produce a MIT-V6+ kernel that would boot under the emulator - the existing kernel images wouldn't, they use disk controllers that the emulators don't support). That's there too - that's being discussed on the TUHS list. See the archives. Noel
