Program versions

 "The cuckoo bird does not lay his own eggs."

                         VERSION UPDATE
                      by Richard Karsmakers

 The ninth occurrence of this regular column here:  A summary  of
all  current  version numbers of specific  utility  programs  and
such,  as  available  to my knowledge at the time of  this  issue
being released.  Again,  however,  it contains quite an  enormous
amount of new information,  most of which thanks to Keith  Frisby
who sends me reams and reams of PD. Cheers, mate!
 It  has  to be noted that the following list  is  compiled  with
reliance almost solely on my knowledge,  and may therefore indeed
not  be very up-to-date as my scope of view is  only  limited.  I
have  not based this list on rumours,  and therefore the  version
number  listed is that of the latest version actually seen by  me
or any of my direct acquaintances or trustworthy sources.
 Versions  rumoured  to  exist  will,   if  any,   be   mentioned
additionally between round brackets ("-" means "specific  version
number   not  known,   however"  -  I  would  surely   appreciate
information concerning these in that case).
 A version number between square brackets signifies a version  in
development,  if  known.  An  asterisk (*) before the  name  will
indicate that the entry has changed since the 'versions'  article
in the previous issue of ST NEWS, or that it was added since.
 But let's cut it.

 A total of 424 entries listed,  77 of which have been changed or
added after the previous instalment.
