That's a very bad new...furthermore, I read on the web that many
incompatibilities between VW and Unix systems have been found...What
do the specialists think of that ?

If it is a "GUI by network" issue, it could be fixed, but seems
extremely difficult nevertheless.
If it is a "UNIX incompatibility", it's dead. I just have to wait for
the new powerful Mac coming next month :-(

ps: too bad, shared memory computer brought the greatest hopes to me.
Imagine a world were a large scale (20km), long term (2000 years) but
still individual-based simulation would run in one hour !!!
haaaaaaahhhh...
