As many people know, I've been promising official dbz support in C News Real Soon Now for rather a long time. Quite a few folks have been waiting impatiently. Some who've corresponded with me lately know that I was swearing to have it done by the end of March. Well, I almost made it. C News with a spiffied-up dbz has been running on utzoo for a couple of days now. I've found and fixed one obscure problem that didn't come up in my regression tests -- there is a *reason* why we insist on running things ourselves for a while before releasing them! -- and if nothing else turns up, the patch (well, patches, it'll be another two-parter, by the looks of it) will come out sometime next week. Apart from watching it run in production for a few more days, the only thing that isn't done yet is some of the documentation. -- Apollo @ 8yrs: one small step.| Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology Space station @ 8yrs: .| uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu

Just to keep people current, as I know there are folks waiting impatiently for those patches... They will probably slip to next week. Jon Zeeff, on seeing a preliminary copy, had some good suggestions that I think are worth incorporating, and it's been a slightly busy week. -- With features like this, | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology who needs bugs? | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
