Out of curiosity - the "we" would be whom exactly?

Peter - I sorry but your stopping over a line here.  There is no
"overcoding". There is no 350kB Transit. There is no StartShip Enterprise. I
could go on and on but I'd be wasting time that I consider better spent on
things I'm interested in.  Instead there are much more productive things
that need doing.  

  * A release of Transit.
  * A new host system for the DPML.
  * Magic documentation.

If you want discuss any of these topics I'll be more than interested.

Cheers, Steve.
