Program versions

 "Fake friends are like your shadow - they stay near to you  when
you're in the sun but leave you when you're in the dark."
                                          Christian Nestell Bovee

                         VERSION UPDATE

 The second occurrence of a new regular column here: A summary of
all  current  version numbers of specific  utility  programs,  as
available to the knowledge of the ST NEWS editorial staff at  the
time of this issue being released.
 It  has  to be noted that the following list  is  compiled  with
knowledge  owned by the aforementioned staff,  and may  therefore
indeed  not  be  very up-to-date as our scope  of  view  is  only
limited.  We  have  not  based this  list  on  any  rumours,  and
therefore the version number listed is that of the latest version
actually SEEN by us or any of our direct acquaintances.
 Versions  rumoured  to  exist  will,   if  any,   be   mentioned
additionally between round brackets ('-' means 'specific  version
number  not  known,   however'  -  we  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 is has changed since the 'versions' article in  the
previous issue of ST NEWS.
 But let's cut the bullshit.
