New release of DELTA programs

[Mike Dallwitz]

New versions of the DELTA programs for MS-DOS are now available by gopher or
anonymous ftp from the following Internet hosts.

     huh.harvard.edu        (directory: /pub/software/delta/msdos)
     life.anu.edu.au        (directory: /pub/biodiversity/delta/msdos)
     spider.ento.csiro.au   (directory: /delta/msdos)

The Internet distribution package consists of text files *.1st and
self-expanding files *.exe. Download.1st contains this information about
downloading the files, changes.1st contains the revision history of the
programs, and delta.1st describes the procedure for installing the programs on
an MS-DOS computer. The files must be transmitted in binary mode, set by the
ftp command `binary'. (Failure to do so will result in the error message
`HeaderC Error' when the .exe files are run.)

Place the files in the directory C:\DELTA on your MS-DOS computer. Then follow
the installation procedure described in delta.1st, but omit the XCOPY command.
