Re: Google

IBM held round table discussions with the Internet Development Team prior
to the release of the Google engine about that interpreter.  I supported
the server implementations of that code for testing.  My knowledge comes
from those discussions.

The code developed at IBM is open source.  Though so far the only true port
I have seen runs under AIX.

If Google runs a different interpreter I would like to see the source code.
