I took a walk around the hall after lunch and counted 17 workstations
running MGR (including mine).  Mostly sparcstations, but some sun 3's and
some dec3100's.   At home I run MGR on a toshiba 5200 (on SCO xenix).

I try to keep the latest versions of MGR avaliable for ftp on bellcore.com,
and incorporate the bug fixes that people send me, although I'm currently
a bit behind.
