3.1-beta4.tar.Z is not a release; it is a snapshot that I want certain people
to test on platforms to which I do not have access (and I sent them e-mail
individually).  It has some problems that we hope to fix shortly.  Sorry for the confusion.

InterViews 3.x is a research software system, which means there is
no explicit support provided.  Naturally, we try to help as much
as we can.

As for the scheduling, I'm not happy with recent performance either.
Unfortunately, this fall has had a number of other committments
for me that have not only taken away some of my time but also
made it harder for me to estimate how long finishing off a release
would take.

I have been putting a lot of effort toward the X Consortium and
related product efforts, but it will be a while yet before we know
how that will turn out.  It would certainly help if anyone stated
to their favorite vendor that the vendor should support the effort.
