Just to grab some continuity, that's what held the Simula community (ASU) 
together for a long time, (btw, also voted most common characteristic was love 
of fine beer) <ahem>.

I actually can imagine that SimDBM, a multi-stack BTree to object space 
package, as the predecessor to EOModeler.

I gave too much away in attempting to use Java, even before WO, to 
independently embrace it, and it was M$ that dropping Java that precipitated 
this gradual decline.

Listening in with best wishes,
Baiss
