If someone can modify the WWW site and send me the updated WWW page, I'd
be most grateful.  I'm on a business trip and don't have time to do
this right now.

Actually, I didn't sign a license that says a release must pass the
compatability tests, like the Linux folks.  In other words, I didn't get
access to the sources early, so I have no such restriction.  Heck, I
don't even have a copy of the tests, so how am I expected to pass
them. :) :)
