Obviously, from the above subject line, you can tell that we
have finally released the latest and greatest version of
Xtank.

FTP the distribution while it is hot off the pre-processor
here at Pix.COM.

You can get it from:

	ftp.eng.umd.edu:/pub/xtank/xtank1.3e.tar.Z
and
	azathoth.sura.net:/pub/xtank/xtank1.3e.tar.Z

(The latter site is better connected and faster than
the 3/60 that is ftp.eng.umd.edu.  Azathoth is a
DECstation 5000 that has over twice as much memory,
and much faster disk drives. You probably want to
snarf your copy from there, but what the hey, *I* don't
care, really.)

WARNING -- We would only rate this a ALPHA quality
release -- there are known rough edges, and spotty
support for some new features.  Hopefully, we will
get a more stable release out in short order.  Enjoy
it for what it is worth.

As for not making the release target we had set for
last night -- would you believe me if I said it wasn't
*my fault*?

Locusts!

Flood!

Fire!

up a friend flying back from California?)
