    There is an OS/2 port of MOO which runs pretty well.  It is slightly older as
    LambdaMOO 1.7.9alpha1, but considering the very minor code tweaks required for the
    port, moving the latest cut over should be too tough.  (I'd do it my self except
    that mixing EMX and VACPP can be hair raising at best, and I'm under dealine right
    now).
