+ IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE READ
+ 	People have been using the security hole in arepdaem to break
+ 	into their own systems, and grab root access.  As such I request
+ 	that you remove arepdaem and autoreply from your systems.  Since
+ 	their feature is really no longer needed, and better programs
+ 	now exist to handle this in a secure fashion, its not worth
+ 	fixing them.  Instead, they will be dropped from future Elm
+ 	distributions.
+ END OF IMPORTANT NOTE.

  Patch 23 is now released and is a bug and portability fix patch only.  It is a patch
  and not a re-release again.  While I expected it to be relatively small,
  it isn't, its a 5 part patch (23a - 23e) and totals about 460kb.
