to get updates you would have to legally own/subscribe to the package...
probably a bit pricey...

Do a Google search on the archives, well, several, actually, for 'ETKA',
and 'family pictures', 'family album', etc.  Be prepared to do some
sifting, but you will get far more that way than if two or three people
pop up and tell you a couple of things now.

the 'Family Album' moniker caught on after we wasted a few weeks
discussing the legalities of discussing what is probably illegally
bootlegged software on a public, archived internet mailing list...

Disclaimer:  I don't even know what we are talking about, heck, I never
even *had* this conversation.
