        This was unfortunately true.

        We disagree but not very seriously. The problem is that Elliot
didn't want to release a new ORBit, I'm sure he will correct me but these
I think were they:

        * It's not good to release too often
        * ORBit might still have bugs in it

        Since the latter is certainly true of bonobo without the ORB  
fixes, and since I don't like knowingly releasing pre-broken software,
and since I hoped there was a chance that Elliot would do a release for us
to solve this issue, I released in expectation of an new ORBit, which it
seems has not appeared.

        Regards,

                Michael.
