- I hope that doesn't mean you're going to make a major upgrade and
- take a long time to release it ... with 2.4a you got THAT -> <- close
- to getting everything I want into it ... the only weakness was that
- some necessary features were disabled with IBM emulation ...
-
- I've been swatting 2.5's here and there, along with copies of
- Terminus and MagiCall ... seems to be quite the fad to be uploading
- bogus comm programs around here.
-
- I guess the users are feeling impatient for one or another of them to
- finally be really complete.
-
- If you do want to control revisions, you will have to withhold source
- or make it available only with a signed promise to make only personal
- use of it, or something... Please don't make it require 3.0 -- 2.04
- should be good enough and a lot of A500s will probably never upgrade
- higher than 2.1
