revised 2.0 schedule



Hi Folks,

With us not yet having gotten all the 2.0 features implemented, and
with Windows '95 coming out on August 26th, we have decided to delay
Hackathon II a little bit, and hence push the beta period and the 2.0
release date further into the future.

Hackathon I is almost half over.  When Cotton returns to Boston, he'll
work on completing as many pending features as possible.  Mat will
work on the NEXTSTEP port and also help me and the DJGPP V2 people
make sense out of all the bugs we introduced with E/D 1.99n/1.99o.  No
matter how much pain associated with installing it, we'll get Warp
installed in house for testing, and probably Windows NT as well.

When it looks like we're two weeks from finishing adding all the new
functionality and finishing finding and fixing all the DOS mystery
bugs, we'll schedule Hackathon II, which will be another two weeks,
and the beta period will be the six weeks beyond that.

We apologize for slipping once again, but we can't go beta until all
the features are present and all the major bugs eradicated, and even
if we could, it would make no sense to go beta before Windows '95 is
on the shelf.

It looks like even though it's a bit late, 2.0 will be received very
well as a shrink wrapped product.  *Then*, with money to hire more
engineers, you'll see *amazing* progress out of team ARDI.
