Hm, you have GUSI 219, right?  If so, I'll take a look at it when I get
around to playing (maybe next week?).

I am aiming to do a beta release of MacPerl 5.6.1 next week.  I hope to
include your Shuck, but I won't hold up the release for that.  We'll see
what happens.  Maybe I will just include your MrC version or something, if
we don't get further along with it, and tell people that Shuck isn't yet
complete.

Thanks,
