You're welcome - there have been lots of people involved over the years!

Hi. The versions currently packaged in Debian are very old. I need to
update them to a current prerelease, I've been meaning to do it. But then
I end up fixing "real" bugs and stuff again. I'll turn up the priority on
this task. Anyways, you can find sources for the current prerelease of all
three systems at:

What was the error? The best thing you could do to get this checked it is
to submit a bug report at:
http://www.cliftonlabs.com/bugzilla

This way whoever the bug is assigned to gets complained at from time to
time if they haven't checked it out.

(Done.)

Currently, std.textio is the only way to input and out, yes indeed. There
has been a little bit of work done on waveform dumping but nothing useful
has come of it yet. I can put you in contact with the interested parties
if you'd like to contribute to that effort.

Later,
