Just got an end of the year update from VSI, which was pretty routine

VSI are talking about releasing a new version of GNV but I thought this
had long since become an external project hosted at SourceForge.
 
I checked the VSI website and they appear to have a single download of
the base kit, but only for Itanium, and which is located at:
 
https://vmssoftware.com/products/gnv/
 
So, is GNV a VSI or external project these days ?

If you look at the installation link, then it points
to SourceForge, so it seems most likely that VSI takes
the SF code and make an official VSI version of that.

Interesting, but it doesn't explain why VSI are talking about creating
a new GNV version based on customer requests instead of just packaging
the SF version. I wonder if VSI are planning to fork the SF work.
