v1.0.5 January 1998 Increased the number of characters in the name field of the nameEntry struct from 34 to 36. This gives an 8-byte alignment to the offset entry, which provides binary compatibility of the precompiled database file between the IIgs and little-endian 32-bit machines such as Linux boxes. *** THIS MEANS THAT THE PRECOMPILED DATABASE IS NO LONGER BINARY COMPATIBLE WITH EARLIER VERSIONS. Updated descu so that the "Last Updated" line in the describe source "header" is updated to reflect the current date and time (GMT, if supported). Fixed a bug in descu that caused the "header" to be slowly eaten, one character at a time. The describe database source file is no longer part of this archive.
