- rnd0 4y agoThanks! I followed through to the home page and the "SATAN updates" link: >http://www.porcupine.org/satan/release-2-plan.html http://www.porcupine.org/satan/release-2-plan.html >Release 2 is currently in the works - the original plan was to update SATAN on its first birthday, but that schedule has slipped. sensiblechuckle.jpg
