The compressed TAR image is now on cu-arpa.cs.cornell.edu for
anonymous FTP and is being copied to UUNET this very moment.
My secretary is now able to make tapes (8", cassette, or Sparc
diskettes).  Sorry about the delays.

The distribution has 3 major parts:
	1) isisv2.0	-- the latest and best version of ISIS
	2) metav1.2b    -- a version of Meta 1.2 that runs under isis2.0
	3) magicv1.0    -- a graphical monitoring/control system for meta
The Magic Lantern system is by Robbert Van Renesse.  It may be a bit
hard to figure out but is worth it.  The system is very slick and makes
it easy to build a remarkably powerful control environment.  The
new spreadsheet demo is also worth running.

Everything is believed to work on and between everything.  We will,
as usual, fix bugs.

I hope the system proves to be valuable and useful, and look forward to
feedback.
