I'm on the freewin95 mailing list and they are still planning and
such. So far all that has been done is surveys and assignments
of various project co-ordinators. It seems to be a very slow
project that is not very sure where they want to go with it. It
looks now to be heading in more of a "freewinNT" direction than a
95 one. Just join their mailing list to keep on top of things.
I get about 2 or 3 emails a month from the list so it's not high
volume!!!!!
