  Good.

  This is very unfortunate timing.  Not this week, probably around the
end of the year?

  Again, the package is on the web.  You can unzip it and read it.
The all change sets are about 1.5MB.  Not all of this are methods that
represents real 'changes'.  It includes the biggish tables (~ 360K),
and trivial re-write of methods with 8-bit chars (~ 200K) in .sources
file.  Also the changes superseded by Babel (~ 80K) doesn't have to be
there.

  Thank you again,
