I know everyone that has responded in this thread already knows this, but
just in case anyone following along doesn't know:

ORC (the Oil Runtime Compiler) is abandonware, at this point. The company
that developed it, EntropyWave, closed up a while ago. I seem to remember
ttsou talking to the founder who said that they were focusing on a new
venture called "Rdio" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rdio), which was
recently acquired by Pandora.

Cheers,
Ben
