Well, my abc2ps clone (jcabc2ps) is  listed  on  the  sourceforge.abc
page,  and  I'd  love  to update it to my latest version.  I was even
given admin privs a year or so back, and since then I've spent a  lot
of  spare time learning about sourceforge.  Lots of good stuff there.
But I've never found any information telling me how  to  update  that
link to my code.

This is extremely frustrating. I've gotten email from people who have
downloaded  it  and  installed it, and found all sorts of things that
don't work. I have to point them to my personal site where I have the
latest version.  And I apologize for the version on sourceforge.

How can I make that link point to the current  version?   I'd  prefer
that  someone  else  not "help" me by doing it themselves; that would
just keep me ignorant and the problem would continue.  Best would  be
if  someone  could  point  to  the  sourceforge  documentation that I
haven't been smart enough to find, so I can learn to do it myself.

Sourceforge seems like a good idea.  I wonder how people learn to  do
such  things with it?  The documentation seems a jumbled mess.  I can
wander around it in forever learning things that I don't have use for
right  now.   But  I can never find an answer to the questions that I
have at the moment.

Having the first version of my code presented as  "the"  version  and
not being able to update it is extremely annoying ...
