BitKeeper image, yes, I'd remember. But there weren't
too many changes to it compared to the release .70.
You could check for yourself from bitkeeper online
browser.

I think directories aren't supported. I tried mac
ossed with a virtual disk (a big file) and in linux I
only tried cdrom (which maps the corresponding block

for which I had to build a "third-party" tunnel module
(a module on which the mol tunnel module is based). I
just couldn't get mol-tunnel module to compile. The
module I used was from
