I realize this is a nit, but I'm a nitwit, so:

Datapros has been replaced by datacat in the release, fine, but the text
that gets printed when you try to run datapros needs editing.  It now says:

The datapros command has been replaced with datacat.
Use datacat instead.  It is the same as dataprose.
We appologize for the inconvenience.
The dataprose command was an MIT local hack.
It's functionality has been absorbed by the standard datacat program.


I'm just talking about spelling here.
"dataprose" in the second line is wrong.
"appologize" of course should have one "p"
"dataprose" in the fifth line is wrong.
How 'bout replacing the whole thing with:


The datapros command has been superseded by the datacat command.
Datacat works exactly like datapros.  Please use datacat.


Apologies are so wimpy!

Sorry,
--Kevin
