Versions
(This list is very incomplete. It needs to be heavily researched and double-checked. Ideally, we want authors/porters, year of release, platform info, language if not English, and what version was derived from what. Also, a summary or overview of differences between all the versions would be a nice thing to have handy. -- David Welbourn 15:52, 29 May 2006 (EST))
