I've been away for the Summer, and have missed most of c.o.l. Could
someone who's been following it for the the Summer please let me know
what I've missed. My last kernel is 0.96.

Specifically, is there a DOS emulator yet? Have the VM86 patches at
least made it into the standard distribution? Have my code-page
patches made it into the standard distribution?

My GCC library is marked lib92.04.06. Is there a new one? If I get
the new one, do I have to recompile all of my programs? Do we have
jump-tables yet so that when a newer library comes out programs won't
have to be recompiled?

Is there anything else I would want to know about?

Many thanks. Please reply by e-mail. I'll post a summary, as I'm
sure there are many people returning after being away for the Summer.
