*LOTS* of people are copying Lovelace (my Ada tutorial)
onto their own systems and making them available to the web.
While there are some advantages to that, there
is a terrible disadvantage to it: updates aren't happening.

PLEASE, either REMOVE your old copies of Lovelace or UPDATE them.
If you plan to update them, put yourself on the automatic
notification list for Lovelace changes and update your copy within 4 weeks
after a new version is posted.  If you can't commit to that, create
a hypertext link from your site to a master copy that WILL be maintained
and remove your old version.

The current version of Lovelace is always accessible at:
  http://www.adahome.com/Tutorials/Lovelace/lovelace.htm
The current version of Lovelace is 5.6. "ez2load" and the PAL
generally try to keep updated versions as well.

A recent post by James Amendolagine (uq274@freenet.victoria.bc.ca)
is just one example of the problem; I'm getting messages asking about
bugs that were fixed a long time ago.

Thank you very much.
