Hi. A couple of announcements. All the software mentioned should work
on these platforms: i386_linux2[24], sun4x_5[78], and sgi_65. Please
get in touch if you discover otherwise. :)

New oed script
##############
I've installed a new version of the oed script in the outland locker.
It can now be configured to show the requested word's alternative
spellings, and show its pronunciation. Also, it now elides the quotes
associated with the word, which can be quite voluminous. Run it without
arguments for a description of how to configure it.
Python updated to 2.1
#####################
In the python locker, I've updated to version 2.1. I've included
support for Tk, the Numeric package, and the Zope Object Database.
Ruby installed
##############
I've installed Ruby in the ruby-lang locker.
