I think you can call it official.

I certainly HOPE so.  :-)

: Glad to see the poetry made it in.

Nope.  We couldn't put everything.  You get the super-duper passwd program tho.

The one I really wish I could throw in (but it wouldn't really be all that
useful to most people) is kybble, a bit editor that the Magellan folks are
using to patch the bit slips and complements in the telemetry data off of
Tape A on the spacecraft.  That's the main reason patch 42 contains new
binary and hex pack/unpack options.
