They take offense to you discussing it here. This mailing list is set up for
people who want to talk about Slashcode, not a port or a similar product or
anything else unrelated to the code they write. It uses perl and mysql, not
some other "MS programming language". This list is here as a resource for
those of us who appreciate the fruits of the challenge that Rob and the
entire team have already created.

And now, on to my real question. Has anyone played with Slashcode on MacOS X
or Darwin yet? I'm getting ready to try to see if all of the necessary parts
will compile and run Slashcode, to feature in a story on MacSlash. Any
advice or tips from anyone?

Thanks,

Ben
