'Bad Form', OM, to not get all secret codes and passwords BEFORE huge 
staff firings!

Then, it is really 'Bad Form', OM, to try to get someone to crack it, as 
a 'friendly favor'.

Just my $.02   There are no valid listing for any Linux form or port, to 
the beast, either in LiveCDrom or in an installed distro, in a google 
search.  Found a lot of shareware offers to run an emulator on an 
amiga!  Funny!  Gads, I what to learn more about the beastie, but, it is 
all "secret sauce".
