Too late...  Robert has already declared that 3.05 is a piece of shit
and 3.06 will be here next week.  If Walnut Creek were a respectable
company, they would scrap all their current 3.05 CDs and immediately
repress them when 3.06 comes out...

I wonder if Robert has arranged to get a kick-back on the subscription
arrangement...  It seems that he's turning out substandard GNAT
releases every few weeks now (instead of every month or so, like the
good old days).
