We have -- as you see -- been working on SMT despite the apparent 
silence over the last year or two.  smtsock and smttime no longer 
exist.  Their functions are now carried out inside the kernel itself. 
 This change allowed us to improve signal handling and certain stress 
conditions.  There have been many other small changes but overall the 
architecture is still the same.

However, you'll need to modify your code for talking to smtsock and 
smttime.  I'm not sure why sendfmt disappeared but there is probably 
a good reason for it.  In any case the CVS version is stable.  

I'll get someone to post a summary of the changes and how to convert 
your SMT agents.
