Yea, they do use it there.  However, there weren't any significant bug
fixes done to the OLC code, except to remove some of the hardcoded
limits on the size of the queues.  I don't remember if I sent the fixes
for that back or not, but it wasn't anything that would be tough to
duplicate.

As for eolcr, I know I didn't do anything to the emacs code itself- we
were using the 3.4 "thesis" version.  Jeff Tang (jefft@watson.ibm.com, a
former Athena consultant) may have hacked it up some more since- you may
want to ask him.
