Thanks again go to Charlie Hewett for contributing the
code for the bitwise operators.

There are still some known issues in running OpenSTA on
an SMP machine.  These have been tracked down to threading
problems in Microsofts libraries.  In order to avoid these
issue we have been experimenting building against
alternative libraries.  In order to test these trials a
seperate installable of this release is again being made
available for test purposes and those having problems on
SMP machines.  This can be found at:
  http://opensta.org/binaries/tests/ostaw32-x86-1001-smp.msi
If you use this experimental installation please report
your results to the OpenSTA users mailing list.

Any problems with the product toolset should, as usual, be 
reported at:
  http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=10857
 
Thank you,
