the final release will go out in a week or so, depending on how 
long marc takes to package things up and test out the tar file
and i take to finish updating the manual.  it would have been
sooner but i spent some extra time nailing some multiuser bugs
after we had frozen (slushed) the code.

a commercial version with SQL and many added features (like real
crash recovery) is available from montage software.  contact 
sales@montage.com for details.

the release was from early '93.  do you want manual pages that 
post-date your source? :-)

there are some new man pages in the next release.  the "timestamps"
only get updated if people happen to remember to change them, though
(it's not automated), so they're almost useless anyway.
