Sorry for the boundless pessimism about FSF (for which I have some respect)
but the statement in the 6/90 GNU's Bulletin is approximately the same as
the statement in the 6/88 GNU's Bulletin.  In two years, their progress, to
a first approximation, has been zero.  They're working on stuff other than
the OS.  They're waiting for someone else to produce something they can
use.

I wish them well (sincerely!) but I hold out no hope until I see some real
movement.
