Version 0.2 of the SHARK beta AV drivers are now available.  This version
includes several bug fixes, simplifies installation on non-standard
directory trees, etc.  More importantly, versions are available for both
the 19980407 and the 19981224 arm32 snapshots.

AV is available at:

    For 19980407 source trees (original SHARK distribution):
        ftp://ftp.talix.com/pub/av/av-0.2-netbsd/19980407.tar.gz

    For 19981224 source trees (latest arm32 distribution):
        ftp://ftp.talix.com/pub/av/av-0.2-netbsd/19981224.tar.gz

Note that the major device number has been changed due to the inclusion of
additional device drivers in newer NetBSD distributions.

As always, comments/suggestions/feedback are appreciated!

Cheers!
Mark Foster

Changes from V0.1 to V0.2:

- Updated sources for better compatibility with multiple
  versions of NetBSD.
- Fixed several minor source bugs discovered as a result of
  using EGCS.
- Major device number changed in MAKEDEV.patch install script
  due to other new devices in NetBSD.
- Changed install script for sys-relative addressing, instead of
  sys's parent directory, for less reliance on user's directory
  structure.
- Corrected a problem with some versions of NetBSD which could
  cause microtime() errors in the kernel log when attaching the
  IR device.
- Eliminated spurious IR transmit-underrun events which were
  creating unnecessary interrupt overhead.
- Changed tar filename version encoding to more familar format.
