No, in fact the AIX version was so hard to port that OSF eventually
had to give up trying.  It was rather closely married to the VM
hardware on the Power CPU.

I was informed, at Veritas, that indeed this is the OS/2 vs. the AIX version,
which really stumped me. JFS for AIX is really not bad.

Wait until I deliver.

I've taken a look, and there's as good as no docco.  It's an OS/2
version, which suggests to me that it would be more difficult to port
than the original AIX version.  I might get back to it again later on,
but don't hold your breath.

This has been reported on daily.daemonnews.org.  Read the comment I
wrote; IBM has an "Open Source Survey" you should respond to as well.
