I've sort of decided on my own to use the following rules:

1. For any application I write, I don't use cio. 2. For any utilities, etc.
which I write or have source for I compile
   using cio.

Don't worry about new versions of cio. It appears that the new versions have
been backward compatible. The problem with distributing a program relying on
cio is that the user may have an old version which your program won't accept.

You might note that the ultra-c package dumps cio out completely and subsitutes
a different scheme (I forget the module name just now). That probably means
that the current cio will be the last??

People using ultra-c might have to be careful in distributing binarys since not
everyone will have the 'ultra-cio'
