Program versions

 "Some of us learn from other peoples' errors.  The rest must  be
the other people."

                         VERSION UPDATE
                      by Richard Karsmakers

 The seventh 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 328 entries listed, 106 of which have been changed or
added after the previous instalment.

 If you know of any higher versions than the ones mentioned here,
please do not hesitate to drop me a line (or,  even better, quite
a few lines).  If it concerns Public Domain software, please take
the liberty to send me that particular latest version if you feel
like  it!   Please  send  anything  you  care  to  send  to   the
correspondence address, mentioned elsewhere in ST NEWS.
 If  you  send  a long and interesting letter with  it  (or  IRCs
instead) you'll even get your disk back (probably).
