OK, I certainly agree with that decision. Being able to
fit on two floppies, and also work on relatively 'old'
PCs, is a much better feature than senseless eyecandy
and bloat.

Was 0.60.5 very stable? It might be too old to be useful
to BL3/4 now.

I guess it breaks compatibility with old modules, so it
should likely be BL4?
