-
- Obviously, from the above subject line, you can tell that we
- have finally released the latest and greatest version of
- Xtank.
-
- FTP the distribution while it is hot off the pre-processor
- here at Pix.COM.
-
- You can get it from:
-
- ftp.eng.umd.edu:/pub/xtank/xtank1.3e.tar.Z
- and
- azathoth.sura.net:/pub/xtank/xtank1.3e.tar.Z
-
- (The latter site is better connected and faster than
- the 3/60 that is ftp.eng.umd.edu. Azathoth is a
- DECstation 5000 that has over twice as much memory,
- and much faster disk drives. You probably want to
- snarf your copy from there, but what the hey, *I* don't
- care, really.)
-
- WARNING -- We would only rate this a ALPHA quality
- release -- there are known rough edges, and spotty
- support for some new features. Hopefully, we will
- get a more stable release out in short order. Enjoy
- it for what it is worth.
-
- As for not making the release target we had set for
- last night -- would you believe me if I said it wasn't
- *my fault*?
-
- Locusts!
-
- Flood!
-
- Fire!
-
- (A trip to almost the wrong airport to pick
- up a friend flying back from California?)
