 This is the Dawn of Time development site for the Dawn 1.69r release
 
 The 1.69r release has been in development since June 2002 and had minimal 
 testing.  The major sections of the code which have had development work 
 include the rewriting of the language system (now olc based), and the core 
 network code rewrite to support ipv6 connections.  You can find out more 
 about ipv6 and getting free ipv6 connection from http://www.freenet6.net/
 
 The purpose of this site, is to facilitate testing of the 1.69r prerelease 
 code and development of the final 1.69r distribution (including help files
 and areas).  Playing for the purpose of aiding in the testing of the code
 is permited but you should be aware this development site will close upon
 the release of 1.69r.  The current aim is to release 1.69r around the end
 of the year.  This projection is based on the amount of development, 
 testing and documentation to go.  It is possible this process will be
 sped up if testers contribute helpfiles.
 
 The code may not be stable at all times, as some major code changes have 
 taken place and some significant changes to the internal structures within
 the codebase are still being implemented.
