New module versions posted:

* Mac::Apps::MacPGP, version 1.1
* Mac::Apps::Anarchie, version 1.3
* Mac::Apps::PBar, version 1.2
* Mac::Comm::OT_PPP, version 1.1

New module posted:
* Mac::Apps::Launch, version 1.0

The MacPGP, Anarchie, PBar, and OT_PPP modules are AppleEvent-driven
interfaces to common utilities on Mac OS (MacPGP; Anarchie, an FTP/archie
client; Progress Bar; and OpenTransport/PPP).

The new releases include memory optimization for the AppleEvent routines.

Mac::Apps::Anarchie has error catching and an option to not wait for an
AppleEvent reply.

All the Mac::Apps::* modules now use the Mac::Apps::Launch module to launch
the respective applications.  Mac::Apps::Launch is based on Mac::Processes,
and will work with either the old-style Mac::Processes interface or the new
(5.1.4r4) OOP interface.

The files should be available on CPAN imminently, and are also available from:
