Last voice from the list was that we're waiting on BONE, for some features
relating to sockets. To be honest, I've about given up on Be since it's
taken so long to get BONE out, and I'm completely out of the loop now. I'll
happily keep the web site up for whoever wants to use it, though. Make sure
you start with the latest patch we have..
If you ask Patrik really nicely, and if he's not mad about having done all
that work for an apparently failed project, you might be able to get him to
merge the last bewine patches to the current source..
Anyways, good luck if you try to revive the project. Main thing we were
missing were developers that knew BeOS to get past the above obsticles.
