Yes, 2.21 is the latest version.  I used it for less that a day
before I sent my money in and registered.  It does command
recall and editing as well as aliasing, so I don't need CED
anymore, the directory command is sufficiently versatile that I
don't need LS, rename and move eliminate MV, etc.  Plus the thing
only needs a couple k of memory when swapping to EMS and the
swapping is so fast you never notice it.  I don't know how I ever
got along without it.
