Yes, mail routing was automatic...I'm not a "wizard" yet :)

I'll send Leon Frenkel email and ask.  IMO, I don't think Avant-Garde will send
out upgrade notices for 2.0...simply because it's only "officially" running on
the 3000.  To quote Mr Frenkel, "It's already the best development system
around"...take it for what you will (I call it boasting :).  But, I doubt
there's a new version of the compiler.

LONGREALs?  Good question...I'll ask.
By the time you get back to school, xanth may have undergone some changes...the
moderator has moved the archives (not sure which ones) to abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov
(128.155.23.64)...so try there also.
