Before I became a beta tester (mid '89), I called Mona every other month
or so to try to find out when it would be available.  I realize she only
passes on what she is told (or what she hears), but I got real sick of
those "next week" stories.  The person in charge of beta testing 4.9
(Mike Spille) has told me about delays caused by a family emergency of
his and by the printer of the manual changing deadlines.  He has not told
me when he expects to ship.  If I hear anything that definate, I will 
certainly let the net know.

BTW, an integrated environment and ARexx interface were added in the 4.9c
beta (late november).
