I've seen a demo of the Distribution Annex implementation.  To my
knowledge, Dick Volz of Texas A&M is working out the details.  He
gave a simple demonstration back in June.  I don't have his e-mail
address though.  Perhaps if you nagged Robert Dewar or Ed Schonberg,
they'd cough the address up and you could convince Mr. Volz you want
to be an early tester.
