- Yes, we're still at it. If you'd like to see the latest development
- version, ftp to syrinx.kgs.ukans.edu, in the /topsoft/filtertop directory,
- and grab the FilterTopDescription.txt and ft-users-kit-10d8.hqx files for
- the latest working version, and to have a look at where we are heading,
- grab the prototype super filter editor sfe.cpt.hqx (this is just a
- prototype of the UI, it doesnt do any filtering as such).

- Indeed it does, it will currently batch encode or decode binhex and
- macbinary, as well as send files off to StuffIt Expander to decode .sit and
- .cpt files, and many other bits and pieces (there are over 30 filters, most
- of htem pretty simple).

- If you'd like to keep up to date on FilterTop, Email Fred
- <pfterry@cyberpunk.kgs.ukans.edu> and ask to be added to the ftgen mailing
- list.

- Basically, development progresses, a bit slower than we'd like, but its
- still going forward...
