Okay, we'll do this once more.  Everybody.  You can download IRCServices
4.5.0pre0 from:
	ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5pre0.tar.gz

How to install:
1. Unzip and untar
2. Run 'configure'
3. If you previously used MD5 encrypted passwords, you will most likely
   want to answer YES to:
   Do you want to support MD5-encrypted passwords from Services 4.4.x and
   earlier?  These versions had a bug which caused the encrypted passwords
   to be wrongly generated.  Saying "no" here will cause passwords from
   those versions to become unreadable; however, saying "yes" may reduce
   the security of your passwords.
4. Run 'make', OR 'gmake' if your 'make' is not GNU Make.  If you have no
   GNU Make, go download and install it.
5. Run 'make install' OR 'gmake install'.
6. If you did the installation manually, INSTALL the language files too.
7. Now, try starting services.
8. Report problems back to this list, except for the ones already covered
   on the list.

Okay everybody!  We've got it now...

I guess it is also worth noting that there is a 'pre0' in this release name.
>From my understanding, this is simlar to saying 'alpha'.  This also means that
if services happen to break, you get to keep both halves until the next
version.

P.S. This pseudo-flame is not directed toward any specific person, but instead
     dedicated to all the insanity on this mailing list within the last few
     days.
