Re: MCL 6.0 preview

Ron-

I hope Gary replies to you. You should pay him or someone else at  
Clozure to do this. He just got through converting the databrowser  
stuff from MCL to CCL for me. I don't normally think of Gary as a UI  
person, but this was a Carbon-to-Cocoa conversion process and he did a  
good job of it. I suspect IFB would be a similar task.

I'd like to see IFB get done too, but it doesn't really map to a  
project requirement for me so I can't pay for it.
