Hmmmmmmm..... ok.  Let me try it this way:

>From what I have heard, one of the releases of the MacOS
will soon not support 68k programs since the 68k systems
are now somewhere around five to six years old.  Would it
not, therefore, make sense to make a BigPPC version of
MacPerl to not only take advantage of the hardware and
software improvements since the 68k systems were around but
to also get ready for such a possibility?  Or is what I
have heard about simply the switch which Rhapsody is going
to cause?  Which would then mean everyone switches over to
Perl from MacPerl?

TIA!  :-)
