I guess they have a short memory. I requested a hp3000 port last June. I had a nice discussion with the rsa folks and they sent some info for their various programs. I offered to make a 3k available and they were tentatively interested. But then, we happen to be located in the same city... Maybe I could drive over there with a 917, look the other way as they compile the source code, leave a check for the license then take them to lunch to cover the porting costs... But then, it couldn't be that easy...could it?
