My personal comments (as a member of the test and development team) are....

Elm has been turned over to the public trust by David Taylor,
specifically to public domain in the comp.sources.unix netnews
group. This group, in a public process, has selected a coordinator
and has a test team and development team. This team has released
Elm2.1 to the comp.unix.sources moderator, and is already working
on Elm version 2.2. (This code does not include any proprietary x.400
code that was "leaked".)

I believe the group would like to continue ownership and control of the Elm
product, but would certainly appreciate your participation on the
test and development teams.

Future comments should be referred to Sydney Weinstein (syd@dsinc.UUCP)
the current Elm Coordinator.
