The most recent version I have is 1.2 (July 11 1988).  You most definitely
want this version.  Versions prior to this had some subtle and sometimes
biting bugs.  One time I caught an older version applying one section's
offsets to a different section (this may have been partly caused by my
misuse of the "section" directive).  There are also certain constructs,
such as #")" that earlier versions will flag as illegal.

I am willing to put 1.2 up for anonymous FTP here at Rice if there is
sufficient interest.  We also have an archive server, so it would be
available to non-Internet sites as well.

I have been using version 1.2 for awhile now and am very happy with it.
