i talked to silicon beach software about a week or two ago.  version 1.1 or
1.2 (i forget) is available.  the only changes in that i think are to
support the newer laserwriter drivers and multifinder.

version 2.0 should be out in september, according to silicon beach software.
it will support color mode on the macII, plus it will have a whole bunch of
new goodies.
