Hi folks, I corrected a problem with yesterday's release that will only affect people using unix and perl 5.6 (or earlier). If you fall into that category, it will be clear because the package should install without a problem, but then Athena and/or Artemis will die without starting and issue an error about not being able to find the "longmess" function. I made a new tar ball and uploaded it to my web site and to SourceForge. There is only one small change in this release compared to the previous one and it will be completely transparent (I think!) for those using perl 5.8. There is *no need* to upgrade your perl installation just to run this release of my software. Of course, if anyone else runs into any problems, let me know. Thanks to Markus Janousch for an excellent bug report and for quickly testing the solution.
