I said I'd send koreth the umoria executable about today, so I'd like to make
my excuse for its present status.  I hope to fix the last bug I'm aware of
tonight.  The program works well enough for me to have done more than 30 hours
of 'testing' in the last week.  (this delayed completion both in the obvious
way and by turning up a few small buglets).  So it'll be out soon, I promise.

In connection with Howard Chu's suggestion that we tell what we've got coming:
I've been working for about 10 months on a Mandelbrot set drawing program.  It
iterates 10,000 times /second with 30 bit accuracy, runs under GEM in all
resolutions and saves pictures in DEGAS format (with a bit of visible header).
I'm inclined to post executable as a freebie, and ask for a bit of money for
source and future upgrades.

randy asked us to get out the word that chinet is just chinet again,
chinet.chi.il.us just didn't work out (don't know why).
