Let's consider this the stealth release of MyRoarr.
A readme file indicating alpha status would be appropriate.

I assume that the email address still goes to you. If you
haven't received any email by noon we will investigate
more deeply.

Since we will need a wide distribution next week, let's
let all who want to grab it.

>> Funny you should mention it.  We (TFEI) are just now frantically pounding
>> together just such a repository framework and versioning tool for Squeak..
>> It's based on Richard Harmon's SIF and Program work (SIF is the storage
>> format, and Programs are somewhat analogous to Envy Applications), but we
>> are being careful not to inhibit normal Squeak tools usage.

>> We believe we are close , and we will unveil <something> at Camp Squeak this
>> weekend.  Meanwhile, anyone who's curious may send email to
>> squeak at 4thEstate.com, and we'll be happy to point you to the "test pilots"
>> release.  Be advised, while that version is actually in use (and effective)
>> as a versioning tool, its correct usage is _extremely_ subtle <spot the
>> euphamism!> in places.
>> 
>> A few quick observations about the tool:
>> - we plan to have it compatible with Eric's SIF before/during Camp
>> Smalltalk
>> - the actual repository storage format is simply a local file system;
>> however, the framework is easy to extend to other storage mechanisms.
>> - we will provide a two-way bridge between SIF and native Squeak
>> file-out format and/or integrate .st and .cs versioning into the tool
>> 
>> Well we have code squeaking for attention that wants to get out of the door.
>> More as the story breaks...
