Subject: New Moo

Is the next release of the server going to be the disk-based version?  I
ask because we have run up against the "impossible" barrier here on the 
GodNet - that is, under 80mb of RAM the GN can no longer function 
without dire affect to the rest of the system (the GN chews up about 60mb
of memory).  

Our choices are 1) wait for a disk-based version of moo, or 2) abandon moo.

Inquiring minds want to know.

I'm afraid not.  The current schedule of releases looks like this:

	What						When
	----						----
	Major cleanup of the compiler, decompiler,	Friday or Monday
	  and interpreter; regular expression
	  matching and substitution support; several
	  minor improvements. (Version 1.6.0)

	Reference-counting replaces value-copying in	End of August
	  the interpreter for major speed-up;
	  support for many kinds of `networks',
	  including multi-user non-networking and
	  single-user operation.  (Version 1.7.0?)

	Disk-based database for major decrease in	End of September
	  memory usage.  (Version 1.8.0?)
