                         VERSION UPDATE
                      by Richard Karsmakers

 The tenth 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.
 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 (not that I  know,  anyway),
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 451 entries listed,  60 of which have been changed or
added after the previous instalment.
