http://www.willows.com/ says Revised: Mar 29, 2002
The readme linked from their home page is for version 3.1.13.
They've got a link for 3.1.14, but it says April 28, 2001 next to it. A
bit over a year ago. The readme says,
"The Willows TWIN libraries development has completely adopted the open
(bazaar) development model. The latest development sources are
available via anonymous CVS server."
They have mailing lists archived. Looks like a 'bot is dutifuly archiving
the one monthly automatic announce note for the past few months. Doesn't
seem to be very active at the moment.
