Before the net fills with R3 traffic, I'd like to take the opportunity
to thank the staff at MIT that made R3 possible:

    Jim Fulton
    Keith Packard
    Ralph Swick (Project Athena)
    Donna Converse (joined us recently, just in time)
    Michelle Leger

They worked 'round the clock for a long time to make this release
build and run cleanly on the half dozen or more different systems we
use here, and they hardly ever complained about the leg irons.  I
think they've done an outstanding job, considering all the obstacles
in their way (I sure wish companies would start using the X release to
QA their compilers and utilities).  If they're a little slow in
responding over the next week or so, either they're off taking a
well-deserved rest, or else the switchover to the new MIT phone system
has happily left us cut off from the universe for a while.
