1.6.2 available for early testing

Hello,

I've placed v1.6.2 of VSTa into:

    ftp://ftp.zendo.com/vsta/vsta_162

for anyone who'd like to give it a trial spin. "current" will continue to
point to 1.6.1 until I get some confirmations that 1.6.2 looks OK. Here's
the 1.6.2 list from vsta/doc/features.txt:

   Add rcsdo/changed, my tools for working with RCS trees.
   Fix docs on rawrite'ing, also more spots missed in the great
           filesystem server command line change fiasco.
   Update sample boot/menu.lst to reflect file server command line syntax.
   On usage() errors, have DOS and vstafs put out a message to syslog
           as well as stderr (which, DOS being a boot server, isn't active).
   Fixed memory leak in ethernet driver
   Added memory leak instrumentation to libc malloc.c
   Added standard filesystem switch support to all filesystems
   KA9Q and proxyd now work for open/close/read/write/stat. So distributed
           kernel messaging is now working. Mount remote filesystems.
           Even /proc! Kill remote processes! Wheee!
   Implement support for ISA bus limitation "bounce buffers".
   Use bounce buffers in our two ISA DMA drivers--SCSI and floppy disk.
   Fix a nasty race condition in vstafs.

There's also a new port of the Python programming language, version 1.5.1.
It's a very nice little interpreted language, and I find it much easier to
code in than raw shell with sed/awk/grep.

                                                Enjoy!
