The reason has been simply work. I've had too much of it, and have been unable to do the work associated with releasing 1.0, nor am I really in a position to support the questions that might arise. I very much hope to release it in mid-May, when I will have a lot more time. The reason, without boring you with details, is that I am relocating back to Britain from Germany, and will be between jobs, and therefore with much more time on my hands. As a side note, my e-mail address (richard_leyton@mail.amsinc.com) should be considered "unusable" from the end of this week. My "proper" e-mail address (rleyton@acm.org) is much better, and will reach me wherever I go. Back to LEAP - Release 1.0 is essentially 0.12, with one or two minor changes - the most significant of which is signal handling, to prevent CTRL-C and SIGHUP's aborting the program before closing down the files gracefully. Windows/DOS releases are still in the works, and will be released in May as well. Apologies for not releasing a 0.12 release sooner, but as I say, work has been suprisingly demanding these last few weeks. Thanks for your feedback and understanding, Richard.
