[self-interest] Re: solaris 2.5

[David Ungar]

Gak!

BTW, I have gotten Self to work with SPARC, 24-bit frame buffers.
It would take a bit of work to update Self 4.1.1.
I'm not sure how soon I can get around to it.
Would anyone out there use this capability?
(I'll try to factor the amount of demand into my schedule.)

Thanks

- Dave
