- 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.
