I am a month into a 6-month R&D sabbatical in Canada, so I have a chunk
of time with no clients pressing for my attention, and some spare hours
every week for non-core projects. Sadly, although I shipped a spare PC
and an 82GB Linux disk, the two don't like each other. For the time-
being, I only have access to the Windows 2000 and Windows 95 volumes. I
have trial installations of U/WIN and Cygwin under W2K, and I am trying
to get Apache, PHP and mySQL working also. This limits the test
environments I can use, unless I grab a few GB from one of the spare
drives to install another SuSE instance.

What environments do you have access to for testing? How do you want to
handle collaboration?

My understanding is that POPC doesn't work under Windows. I'd like to
change this, if it is possible.

In this case, a wrapper around Poplog that has either ActiveX or CORBA
interfaces. This could be as simple as an object with pipes to an
instance of a Poplog process, handling an input stream sent from the
object, but I'd hope we could achieve a more optimal solution.
