     This release adds support to convert-db for the most recent version of
Auspice Services, and fixes a few other minor bugs.  The configure script
has also been updated to refuse to compile with GCC 2.96 (shipped with
some versions of RedHat and related distributions), which is known to
produce incorrect code.
