RELEASE on March, 1st !!!

[Thorsten Brunklaus]

Kostja,

InstallShield Developer is available here and I can do the packaging for Windows. If
you were reading the Mozart web pages more carefully, you should have noticed
that I did the Windows packaging for the Mozart 1.2.5 release already.

Thorsten.
