And note at the very bottom it says: "Last updated: 3 March 1997"

If you think that's a shocker, check out the dates in the changelog:

   Version 2.20 release: November 17, 1993
   Version 3.00 alpha: Ran on net for testing.  Code not released.
   Version 3.00 beta pl1-3, internal releases for beta-testers.
   Version 3.00 beta pl4 release: September 28, 1994

I'd say once 3.0 final is available we'll only have about 8 more
years to wait. ;)

Not that I'm complaining. I think version numbers mean very little.
If you read through the list of changes made in that span of time
it's an impressive accomplishment.
