Michael has taken over the software with my ok.  Folks should work with him
to insure that any problems that crop up get fixed.  Certainly stuff will
move forward more quickly now that I'm not "in the way" of getting new
versions out.  The only downside is that I had a large batch of changes that
were lost when I left SGI.  I'm hoping all the folks that sent me mods to
include in the "next distribution" will resend them to Michael if they
haven't already.
