I guess so. Is there some guide what I should do.

OK. I'll look into this.

Well, I have been doing some small things in CVS, that is true. I have
bumped version number to 5 in preparation for a new release. On the

inspired me in getting anything out the door. Maybe I should release
5.0 anyway just for the sake of it!?
