What ever happened to the OREXX port of Linux that was being ported?

Here is a post from the Newsgroups dated 2005.  It sounds like he was close, but I can find no more mention of it.

Well, at least I'm ahead as I've been working on this for most of the year
now. As for Adrian, I'll have to check out the project he's set up and see
what progess is being made. We are already at a bit of difference as I've
been using Visual Age C++ V3.0, that being the development environment I'm
most comfortable with. I decided that trying to do the port and learn how to
use a new compiler would hinder my efforts even more.

I don't know if he's actually started on the work or was just calling for
volunteers. My way optimistic goal was to have a running version to announce
at Warpstock 2005, but then my client dropped a ton of work on me. :-> And as
we all know, the bills have got to be paid first, and the fun programming
gets pushed onto the weekend and other free hours.

cheers,
