-As you will note, I don't follow the standard GNU release
-numbering conventions, but rather one that I started in
-1970.  My internal releases were 0.nn, the first release to
-another user was 1.0, each modified source code release then
-gets a new minor release (1.1, ...) as well as a date.  Each
-major change in the software -- e.g.  new tape format will
-normally have the major release number incremented.
