In the original alt.sources posting, this file started off:
This is the mkid package originally posted to the net around September of
1987 by Greg McGary (who then vanished from the net). Since then I have been
extensively hacking it, and so have others. In an effort to have all of us
benefit from the modifications and improvements we all have made, I have
(probably foolishly :-) volunteered to "take over" mkid.
Since then, Greg has revealed that he is still alive and on the net, and
he apparently has lots of plans for mkid revisions (but not much time to
do them -- a situation we are probably all familiar with).
Anyway, after I post this version to comp.sources.unix, I will probably
let Greg take over as the official maintainer.
This version contains some cleanup work done since the alt.sources posting
(but no major changes). It also comes with a brand new id.texinfo file
containing the latest and greatest documentation for the tools (Note: I have
no plans to upgrade the man pages, the texinfo doc is the only place where
the latest and greatest options are documented right now).
This is the final posting to alt.sources. It contains the patches to upgrade
the original alt.sources posting to what I now have. If a few days go past
with no additional bugs cropping up, I will send it all off to
comp.sources.unix.
