  ===================================================================
  *****************************  W A R N I N G  **********************************
  
    Some user accessible points in this software package should be considered
    ALPHA. This means that the developer team is not investing 
    _any_ effort AT THIS TIME to make the CVS code work releases for these parts.
    This software will continue to be released as ALPHA for developers 
    until its code, schemas, and APIs are considered stable.
    
    The development team understands the importance of reliable
    software as well protecting user investments through the creation of
    a solid development platform that doesn't change. On the other hand, 
    the project is a pioneer in many fields. Most of the technologies 
    it uses are at a "working draft" phase only, even partially during BETA 
    stages, if the BETA cycle has proved it necessary.
    Thus, reliability cannot be guaranteed before the software achieves 
    its FINAL status.
    
    Until then, no effort will be provided to guarantee functionality
    for any parts considered ALPHA or BETA.
    
    You have been warned.
