To add to this.
It has no maintainer because it was written using the CDK libraries which
used to crash under have load. And cause a segmentation fault, and core dump.
Which is less than ideal.

I was going to rewrite using slang or something, but then the web based
circulation module came along and that kept me busy bugfixing/adding features.
And with the web based circulation module, there seemed to be less demand
for a terminal interface.

It actually will still work, even with 2.0 if the modules for it are
installed. You'd have to get the modules out of the Attic in CVS as i think
they have all been put there.

If there is sufficient demand, im more than willing to work on a terminal
interface. I'd be even more willing to help someone else who wanted to.
