That was very much my feeling when I inquired here as to whether anyone was
familiar with Oz/Mozart. This was at a time when I was struggling with the
question as to whether to concentrate on getting E to work on the Macintosh,
or to try to port Oz/Mozart.

At the moment, the answer happens to be "neither," but thanks to MacOS X's
Java support and the continued efforts of MarkM and others I think the
E-on-Mac story has a natural resolution anyway, so I do expect to eventually
port Oz/Mozart, at least to MacOS X if not MacOS Classic.

I'm very interested in whatever the Oz/Mozart team is doing wrt
network-level security; do you have any relatively current pointers?
