I'm glad you have found it useful.

Maintained is an interesting way to look at free software with source :-)

There is a 1.5.8 release which had a few minor bug fixes which was made
a few years after the version on ftp.wku.edu; and I've continued to fix
bugs when they bit me but haven't done a good job of doing a new release
(I run on 1.5.9 on NT and AIX daily).

If you have any bugs you want fixed email me - but if you have code to
fix it I'll put it in the source directory and try to make a new 
distribution.

The most recent stuff is available via anonymous ftp from clio.rice.edu,
(and a few binaries) but the current source tree hasn't been rolled up in 
a while.  It depends on who's bugging me the most this week.
