   For what I can understand of it.  He is native in c++ and was planning   
   todo a c++ clone of the pascal code, but upon asking people what they   
   wantted. They decided it should be in Java, because of the Multiplatform   
   aspect of Java.  Though,  Mr. Cory Snow doesn't have a extensive knowlegde   
   of Java only up till JDE 1.??. (forgot which version), but I think he is   
   taking time to learn how to program with the newer code base.  Also, he   
   got a new job ( working with .NET) a ways back and that delay'd his   
   progress on learning and startting.  With the fact that he might be really   
   busy like myself, (work, family, life), and currently can only squeze 5   
   minutes of personal time on the computer.   
      
   Please, take what I have said as hearsay.  It is what I have heard second   
   hand.  Except for the new job part which came right from him.   
      
   I just like that he got the current rg pascal records released.  Which   
   help'd me update some of my utils with the y2ka upgrade. Personally I am   
   not putting a time limit on how long it will take, because I came to terms   
   that the y2ka is going to be the last version.  Anything after that is   
   candy.
