(!PUBLISHED [UDO~6 Patchlevel~14] [on Jul 11, 1999])

Here you will find a very compressed list of the major changes 
compared to the last release. UDO supports now more destination formats, it
supports new features and there were fixed a lot of bugs. In some
cases it was impossible not to change the syntax of some commands.
