    You know, I may get a chance with MESS to look at it, at least a bit. I  
have no idea how to set up all of this CVS stuff, however; I just used  
Alan's NSM. Perhaps you could make a .OS9 disk image (bootable) with both  
sources on them, and a text editor, and I could at least re-familiarize  
myself with it (never did finish commenting the code).
