Something seems screwey with email. I haven't actually got
the original for this message yet. This is from an error
report from majordomo to the list owner (myself).
Did you get the email regarding a new release of FreeMWare
which is available in the normal area? I just took your
2 diffs and integrated them into the previous release.
My plan is to just keep making releases as per usual, until
we get CVS set up.
