Epoch 4.1 is now available for anonymous ftp from cs.uiuc.edu in
/pub/epoch-files/epoch.

Epoch 4.1 is a revised version of Epoch 4.0 patchlevel 2.  It is
available as either a self-contained tar file (epoch-4.1.tar.Z) or a
set of patches for Epoch 4.0p2 (epoch-diff-4.0p2-4.1.tar.Z).

Thanks to all the people who have provided bug reports, feature
requests, and (best of all) fixes and enhancements; your help is very
much appreciated.  Keep 'em coming...

Problem reports for Epoch 4.1 should be sent to epoch@cs.uiuc.edu.

[Epoch is GNU Emacs on steroids: an adaptation of GNU Emacs 18.58 with
lots of additional support for features made possible by the X11
windowing system.  These features include multiple editing windows,
arbitrary colors and fonts (fixed-width and proportional), selectable
zones per buffer with arbitrary display styles (font, color,
underline, stipple, pixmap), an optional separate minibuffer window,
improved keyboard and mouse handling, full 8-bit character set
support, and more.]
