  10 ALBANY, NY - March 22, 2001 - The GNU nano development team
  11 today released version 1.0 of their flagship (and only) product, the
  12 GNU nano text editor.  GNU nano brings a friendly and intuitive editing
  13 environment to users of Unix(1)-like operating systems.
  14         "We have worked very hard to provide a solid and easy to use
  15 editor for both the casual and power user.  With version 1.0, users
  16 can expect a completely bug free and emotionally fulfilling text editing
  17 experience (2)," blurts Chris Allegretta, program maintainer. "GNU nano
  18 follows in the software industry's rich tradition of 'point-zero' releases
  19 which contain absolutely no bugs whatsoever."
  20         GNU nano has won the highly coveted "Best Pico clone whose name
  21 begins with 'n' and ends with 'o'" award two years in a row.  More
  22 fictional awards are expected to be awarded soon.
  23         The GNU nano development team is located throughout the United
  24 States, Canada and Europe.  For more information, please visit their web
  25 site at http://www.nano-editor.org or email nano@nano-editor.org.  The
