Agreed.  Eric, if you agree I can roll a 2.67 tomorrow (I used to have
upload privs at one time, so I guess I still do).

I'm not sure how available Eric is by email, though, so Cc:ing Paul

Of course that only means I'll try to post as many of my remaining
new Fortran macros as I can until then ... ;-)
