Well, the author, as of 2003, said in his 'Juvenilia' page that it was
"badly obsolete and probably needs a thorough revision."  He also noted
that, at that point, he had been using Mac OS X almost exclusively for a
couple of years.

Sounds like he came to the same conclusion as the writer of the original

It's also getting old, but I agree with his conclusion at the end.
