There have been no changes made to Version 6.  Version 7 is available,
however.  It features networking software, a shell, and other features
from Dr. Comer's second book (Xinu II).  We have just finished a new
distributed downloader and a "suped up" bootloader as well, but this
doesn't affect the O.S.

Hope that helps...
