Probably. I really haven't had any trouble with it, except for new fuctionality that wasn't how I would have implimented it. ;-) Looking at the change log, most of the recient fixes are for compiling on the Amiga, MS-NT, PGP support, etc. For a typical Unix shop I think it is pretty stable. The speed and ability to use aliases when you mail an article is worth it. You could always offer both ``tin'' and ``tin-beta'', with the usual caviots. -- David (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu) P P
