Someone here pointed out this message to me (since I don't normally read
this newsgroup).  I have already gotten 4 requests to have this code
sent out, which is flattering, and I thank brian for the nice
testimonial.

Anyway, seeing as how there are (apparently) many people interested in
this little library, I have decided to make it available for anonymous
ftp from somewhere over here (MIT).  Unfortunately, I haven't yet done
this -- I'm still making arrangements to have it put in the right place.

So, rather than everyone sending me mail asking for it, give me a day or
so to set it up and I'll post another note when it's ready and give
directions on how to snarf it and all that.

For those of you poor souls without internet access, go ahead and send
me mail and I'll try to mail the stuff back to you as quickly as I can,
although I'm a bit behind on mail right now (aren't we all :-).

For those of you who already have snapshots, you might want to grab a
new copy once I've made it available again, as this code is a bit
cleaner than the old stuff, and a few new things have been added.

Well, this is long enough for now.  More info when I have the thing
ready for anonymous ftp.
					Thanks for your patience.
