I don't know. I cannot have a CVS tree or anonym ftp on free.fr.

I think that for a first time, this project does not make a lot
of traffic...

I know. But I think that this kind of project must run on Intel
architecture (VAX is old, alpha is dead...). A PPC port will be a good
idea, maybe a sparc port (but I have some troubles with sparc processor
and its stack pointer !).
If this project cannot run on a i386, I think that nobody will use it.
