On at least two occasions in the last 6-8 months I have handed out
the 9x source to people who `desperately needed it' asking them to
get back to me when (if) they got it working so I could make some
kind of release (I've got a serious time shortage at the moment while
I finish my degree).  As of now I've not heard back from them.

The good news is, I want it too and in a month or two will have
finished (ha! ;-) and I will have time to do all the things that
have been buggin me for the last year (like clean up 9term, work on
9x, &c.).
