Well, folks, here it is, the moment you've been waiting for. Mush 6.5 has
just been posted to comp.sources.bugs as a 6-part series of patches, to be
applied to Mush 6.4 as it was posted some weeks ago in comp.sources.unix.
This kit has been posted with the full knowledge and consent of Dan Heller.
He just happens to be too busy right now to organize it. (Actually, *I'm*
too busy right now to organize it either, and I sincerely hope that it is
just about finished consuming my spare time. But having got started it's
hard to quit.) This patch kit takes care of all currently known bugs in
mush 6.4, but it also throws in some new features, which may of course
have bugs of their own.
If you have general questions, comments, or even bug reports, there is
currently a mush mailing list: mush-users@garp.mit.edu, subscription
requests to mush-users-request@garp.mit.edu -- and there may soon be a
mush newsgroup: comp.mail.mush -- and some mush discussion appears on
comp.mail.misc. Or just blaze away to Dan or me; obviously, considering
the monster we've created, we must *like* to get E-mail. :-) :-/ :-o
However, we encourage use of the mailing list and/or newsgroups first,
so that (a) bugs become general knowledge, both to cut down duplicate bug
reports and so they can be avoided by other users; (b) other mush users
have a chance to share their insights; (c) when questions are answered,
the largest possible audience sees the answers, cutting down repetition.
A complete copy of mush-6.5 can be obtained by anonymous ftp from
ucbvax.berkeley.edu, as a compressed tar file. The file is mush-6.5.tar.Z
in directory pub. This copy will be kept reasonably up-to-date as bug
fixes are made. If you do not have ftp access, send mail to Dan Heller at
one of the addresses below -- he will be handling mailed copies.
