I have had 1.0 up and running for 22 days now without even a burp.  I also
had 0.9 running for over a month without a crash.  However, I seem to be the
exception.  Can someone please tell me why other people are crashing left and
right?

Complete agreement.  No reason at all for this behavior.

>The man pages aren't pre-nroffed this time.

Sorry, but I am happy they are not.  pre-nroffed files take up more space.
The delay you get in typing man and letting it nroff your files on the fly
are insignifagant IMHO.

I think a list of all that's not implemented would be larger than the list
that is :->.

>Dumb questions: is there a man page for /usr/bin/blit?

There is no listing in the UN*X manuals for blit, so I think it safe to assume
the answer is no.
