Sadly, I don't believe that I was even in charge of the project in Feb
1999.  And, since I was ill, and the local Cygnus office was being closed
around that time, I probably had other things on my mind.

Regardless, it didn't really require me, or anyone else, to make this
thing fly.  You had a web site.  Why didn't people beat a path to your
door?
