Do you have any way of asking him yourself? That is, provided he isn't so sick
of the story that he wants nothing more than some peace on the matter. Still,
even if this were the case, were you to approach him explaining that were it
possible many believe it would be a very profitable venture, he might be open to
discussion on it. IF it were possible, he could even make use of the eval
elements there and were never used, though this would entail considerable
testing and debugging. I only ask because, other than Friedel, you are the only
one I know who has corresponded with him.
