Because there is not enough interest in dtksh to convince Sun management to allocate resources to a major project on it - it would probably take more than the total allocated to all of CDE at Sun currently (ignoring the Trusted Extensions CDE work, which is the biggest CDE project in years, but that's coming from the Trusted team, not the CDE team). But as we'd say even before we held ARC discussions outside Sun, that's a business issue, and not an ARC issue. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
