Dr. Booch,

I just found out about your "classic software preservation project" on
your blog when I was looking for information about MacPaint source code
and its public release, which was mentioned in the interview with Andy
Hertzfeld. (http://www.pbs.org/cringely/nerdtv/transcripts/001.html)

My question is, will the MacPaint source code released to the public
(that is, like Andy mentioned in the interview, source code available
through the Web) and if so, when?
A few weeks ago I posted Japanese translation of the interview to my
blog, including the episode about the MacPaint (which was at the end of
the interview), and now I am receiving really huge number of responses,
 many of which mentioning great expectations for its source code
release. So I'd really love to know the current status of your project
and pass the word to the people of technical community in Japan.

Regards,
