dear sirs,

after trashing my once long ago current system to make it a stable 1.0 
box, i have decided to once again go current and see what all the new 
hype is about.

i then grabbed the sources for sup, built it, and then proceeded to sup 
from ftp.eecs.umich.edu.  for some reason, even though i use the "-v" 
option on the command line, it still doesn't output what it's updating to 
the screen.  when i supped back in december or something, that sup 
program would print what was going on to the console.  is this some new 
version of sup?  or am i just stupid?

however, it seems like it's working correctly, since i hear the whirl of 
the hard drive getting files as the minutes pass by...
