>> Important new features and changes:
>> - Java 1.1 only - no deprecated warnings. No 16-bit streams.
>>
>> - No more ReteDisplay interface - everything is handled via
>> events like JavaBeans.
>> - Lots of API names changed: name() -> getName(). Sorry.
>> - Everything is Serializable; bload and bsave work (although
>> slowly.)
>> - Inheritance of defclasses, deftemplates. This one is really
>> neat.
>> - Backwards chaining is operational. This is also fun.

>> The list has been curiously silent for about a week - as far as I can
>> tell, though, there are no technical problems. Hopefully I'll hear
