New stuff in BleedingEdge
ftp.ardi.com:/pub/BleedingEdge and
ftp.cs.unm.edu:/pub/ardi/BleedingEdge both contain linux199n5.tar.gz
and dos199n5.zip. The file readme.9n5 explains what those two files
contain. It's short enough that it's included below. I don't know
when vorlon.mit.edu will mirror these files.

================================ readme.9n5 =================================
Installation instructions (assumes standard destinations):
DOS:
Replace C:\executor\executor.exe (i.e. in the directory in which you
installed 1.99n -- you must have installed 1.99n first) with the
executor.exe that is in dos199n5.zip.
Linux:
Replace /usr/local/bin/executor with the executor that is in
linux199n5.tar.gz. You must have previously installed 1.99n.
Run Executor, and check the lower left of the screen to be sure it says
"1.99n5"
These are the improvements that 1.99n5 *should* have over stock 1.99n:
======== Both ========
Using Cmd-Shift-5 to change the screen depth should no longer be ugly
BBEdit Lite 3.0's preference panel should work
PostScript created is much more correct
n5 Cmd-Shift-3 will create a .tif screen dump
n5 You can increase applzone up to 16 MB now
======== DOS Only ========
Should run under OS/2
Cursor shouldn't "paint screen"
n5 Macintosh formatted CD-ROM drives up through Z: should work
n5 CD-ROM and Network filesystems through Z: should work
n5 Floppy formatting about 4 times faster on some systems
======== Linux Only ========
Should allow you to descend into mounted filesystems properly
Shouldn't consume all of virtual memory
n5 You should no longer need the "-invertedcursorbug" switch
