	Fine, now if someone can convince the management here to
transfer a programmer from developing product that goes out the door
to writing or porting the software to support Blit on one of these
machines we will be able to do something :-) Really, when something
like this is a *product*, with full support from BSD Unix, then we
*might* get it. Until then it would require too much human resources
here to support.
