I made a few minor changes to pCD.app, and have called it version 0.3.1.   
This is still available via anonymous ftp from eclipse.its.rpi.edu, as is  
version 0.3 (just in case I introduced some bugs in the new version).

Most importantly, this is the first version where I was successful at  
uploading my pCD changes to the standard NeXT-related FTP archives.  So, at  
the moment, you can also find this at the hosts:

	 sonata.cc.purdue.edu
	 cs.orst.edu
	 ftp.cica.indiana.edu

in the directory pub/next/submissions.  I imagine they'll be moved to other  
directories at some point.  The archive maintainers might want to delete  
older copies of pCD (the original version which Dick Phillips uploaded in  
December).  sonata might want to consider saving a bit over 5 meg of disk  
space by deleting photo_cd.tar.Z too, given that space seems to be a bit  
tight there (photo_cd.tar.Z is a sample of a photo CD, it isn't a  
program...).

Filenames to look for are:
	pCD0.3.1.README
	pCD0.3.1.compressed

Here's an excerpt from the README about the new version:

---[excerpt:]
Finally, the application now has some "help" information for pCD itself.
This isn't much, but it does include a "version history", so I don't have
to include so much info in this README file!  The help info also includes
a few disclaimers.

There are only two minor coding changes.  For one, pCD will now do the
right thing if the user tries to open "photo_cd/overview.pcd" instead
of the (expected) "photo_cd" directory by itself.  For two, there's an
preference-panel option to control what pCD should do when printing
large images.  Before it always used to scale the image to fit on a
single page, and that is still the default.  The user can also request
that it not be scaled (and thus prints on multiple pages), or that it be
clipped off to fit on a single page.

I'm calling this version 0.3.1 (instead of 0.4) partially because very
little changed, and partially because I didn't spent much time checking
what little I did change.
---[end excerpt]

The compressed folder includes both the source code and a compiled &  
stripped version of the application itself.  This application will only work  
on NeXTSTEP 3.0 machines.
