Well, yesterday for the first time I got some very positive feedback 
from my new manager, and I think Sun might begin working on an implemen-
tation, which would be part of an endeavour we have here to push much 
of our internal stuff as an Alphaworks-like site. I'm pretty sure that
if we do an implementation (which hasn't been determined yet, but looks
good so far), that it would be open source. I think anything that we
do would be distributed along with that, so I'm thinking the LTM 
processor might simply be a part of the distribution.

I haven't spent more than one evening yet on the LTM processor, so it's
hardly in a state to share, but I certainly would be willing to do so 
once it gets a bit farther along. If you want to help out I don't see
any reason not to when both time and circumstance permit. Ie., you need
to give me a bit more time to get this functional, even minimally 
functional.

But in short, I'm glad to work with you on this.

Murray
