I really want to help on this matter. But I certainly cannot write
decent updates for notes; it would much better if a native english
speaker helps on this stage. However, copying/pasting from the current
information available from University of Columbia would be easy.

I suppose that the only requirement will be a C compiler for DOS.
As I said, I want to run this program on a 286 computer. I can
look for my C compiler floppies; djgpp is not an option, as it
will run on 32-bit computers only and produce 32-bit programs too.
Certainly, editing the binary would be an easy task... we can overwrite
the beta notice with spaces... much easier than adding text. But it
will be cleaner building a new binary using the right compiler.

It is very nice to know!
