There are some reported glitches with 1.1.1, but apparently the deal-killing
problems have been solved.  My next-office neighbor says 1.2.0 is
about to be released, and that should solve more problems (especially
the need for --nsize/--vsize, FINALLY!  I've been using it under Unix,
and it appears to be working).

Please send any contributions or points that you want cleared up to
this list (or me, personally, and I'll correct or forward to the rest
of the developers).  

Part of the problem is that some of us (myself, for example) are
severely Windows-hostile...  but that's our (my :-) fight to overcome,
and any assistance or "please clarify this" comments for the
documentation is welcome!

best,
