Some version someplace had all the updates, but I honestly don't remember
where it was and if it was ever put on a public site.  r6 might have all
the updates.

The r5 update was supposed to be a temporary fix while r6 was released.
Primarily driven by Symantec for inclusion in Ghost DOS images.
There were some compatibility issues with r6, which never were resolved,
so it never was finalized.  At some point people quit bugging me about it
so I quit working on it.

If you need big memory footprints (bigger than 400MB), especially in big
chunks, r6 is better if none of the compatibility issues bite.

r5 (or the update) is fine for 99.99% of the other usages.
