Well, this is very old (Sep 1994), but here's the reply that I got from
the OI people 2.5 years ago when I asked if there would be another
"free" OI replease for Linux. Also, I'm sure it was binary only, no
source.

Hello Rick -
You're correct, the version of OI currently available for Linux is
4.0 (ObjectBuilder 2.0). We don't have a definite timeframe for
porting OI4.5/ObjectBuilder2.5 to Linux, outside factors are affecting
this. A new libc is in the works, as well as a new g++ compiler and
libX11, our release will be dependent on these. Note that g++2.5.8
cannot compile OI, so we can't put out an interim release.
