Well, actually, no.  Just because Bammi and friends were kind enough to
send me the source (I forget now exactly how I came to have it) doesn't
mean I can distribute hacked versions.  Sorry.  Ask them for an update,
and hope it's a major one - there are some SERIOUS and fundamental
flaws in places like directory handling (ever say "ls -lt" on a
directory with 100 entries?) and memory management (leave the editor,
get bombs, see Desktop).
