 What's New
 
+   * July 15, 1998
+        o Changed startperl to #!/PERL/PUB/perl so that Perl will recognize
+          scripts more easily and efficiently.
    * July 8, 1998
         o Updated to version 5.004_70 (internal developer release) which is
           now MPE-ready.  The next public freeware release of Perl should
           compile "straight out of the box" on MPE.  Note that this version
           of Perl/iX was strictly internal to me and never publicly
-          released.
+          released.  Note that BIND/iX is now required (well, the include
+          files and libbind.a) if you wish to compile Perl/iX.
    * November 6, 1997
         o Updated to version 5.004_04.  No changes in MPE-specific
           functionality.
-   * October 16, 1997
-        o Added Demos section to the Perl/iX home page so you can see some
-          sample Perl applications running on my 3000.
