Subject: ZCPR2 Release Status

        To keep the interested people abreast of what is  happen-
ing  wrt  the  ZCPR2  release,  the following is a summary of the
status of the system at this time.  As much as I  would  like  to
release  it  now,  I  don't  feel it would be good or fair to the
users to receive a release and then receive  an  upgrade  shortly
thereafter,  so  I am again delaying the release until everything
is finished.  Soon, I hope, but I'm  not  even  guessing  anymore
with all this travel coming up.

Item                    Status
----                    ------
ZCPR2 itself            Done except for cosmetic doc changes
ZCPR2 utilities         30+ are done, 2 to go
ZCPR2 online doc (HLP)  Done except for cosmetic changes (250K+)
ZCPR2 Ins Manual        Now being reviewed and modified; 90%+ done
ZCPR2 Concepts Manual   Now being reviewed and modified; 90%+ done
ZCPR2 User's Guide      Derived from HLP files, should be done soon
ZCPR2 Rationale         Not anywhere near completion
ZCPR2 CAI Course        Long way to go


        I feel that that Rationale manual and the CAI course  are
not  all  that  important on first release, so I may go ahead and
release the system without them.  The other items, however,  must
be included in the first release.
