We're about two revs behind.  1.99m had so many browser problems that
1.99n was largely devoted to fixing those.  However, we did add a
little functionality -- the ability to access more than C: under DOS
-- and that was sufficiently broken that we had to get 1.99o out the
door.

Mat was in the middle of the NEXTSTEP port when our first "hackathon"
started -- this is where Cotton flys out from Boston and we work
totally on improving compatibility between Executor and various
applications, since it's possible to get some things more easily done
with three engineers all in one room than with two in Albuquerque and
one in Boston.  Cotton's plane tickets were bought in advance, so we
had to stop work on the NEXTSTEP port and run the hackathon on time.
Mat will be back to work on the NEXTSTEP port in 11 days.
