   Actually, the latest version of Hermes is 1.0.8 and I hear another version
is on the way.  1.0.8 supports externals but it does not use WWIV externals.
There are several externals already out, quite a few of them are buggy and
are not v1.0 releases.  I have refrained from using externals until all the
bugs have been worked out.  Programmers of externals for Hermes have tremendous
power over the BBS files... so if there is a nasty nug, it could corrupt your
Hermes Shared file (bad news)!
