   This was an error, Daniel Pfarrer has nothing to do with the project.
It's all explained in the April A2 GenieLamp, apparently there was a 
mix-up somehow (Daniel is not even a programmer).

   Yes, the documentation has been updated (where necessary) and 
includes a history list of changes for each version. Version 2.1
added launching image files over a network I believe.

   Done, I've posted it up to the binaries. I'll upload a copy to
the Caltech FTP site as well, though it'll take a few days before
it's moved out of '/incoming'.

   You can reach Andrew Roughan at: "posty@triode.apana.org.au"
The read.me file included with DOS 3.3 Launcher mentions that
he's interested in further updates.
