His packageing is a bit confusing, I think it's to keep him from having to
modify the HTML on the web page. V2.9 was released on the 3rd of February,
while V2.9-5 was released.... (OK, I'm not sure when in the last few days
it was released, I just learned about it today).

I'd gathered the real holdup is that Bob wants a platform indepentent
solution, something that just isn't going to happen. Still, I don't think
that the DZ11 emulation is platform independant so hopefully we'll see
something for UNIX in the near future. Once this is available, I've got to
wonder how much I'll actually use my PDP-11's!
