Hello Deryk,

Yes, but together with Markus Poellmann on StormC4 which will be
rather cool, especially with its "distributed make" function allowing
compiling utilizing a network of Envoy equipped Amigas - TCP/IP can be
implemented later. Consider 5 060 Amigas compiling large projects -
PPC based compiling will also be possible using "egcs" on which StormC
is now based. There is some problems with the "egcs" assembler tough
it simply destroys debug information without a reason. ;-)

And now consider this StormC ported over to Elate and compiling stuff
utilizing all your set-top boxes, desktop computers and handys in
your house ;-). Quite some work until we can be there, but it is
possible.

Stefan Robl develops the new version of StormC in portable C++.
