Dear Guy:

In doc/loncapafiles and loncom/build
there are some important changes that
occurred after Friday 5pm.  I recommend
their inclusion.  (./UPDATE now works
reliably it seems.)

./TEST should work but haven't played
with it inside the intelligent tarball
yet.

Also, is it possible to recommend specific
files be STABLE-ized in between mass
STABLE-izations?

Regards,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Could you detail excatly which are needed, please?

> files be STABLE-ized in between mass

Yep. But I really want to keep STABLE stable. So most requests will be
ignored.

    I would love to but . . . I have some real hard words to look
    up in the dictionary.
