 Hello,
 
-I've written a new version (4.16) of my html package for the XEmacs 
-(lemacs) and the GNU Emacs 19. It is based on the html-mode from Marc
-Andreessen. 
+I've written a new version (5.0) of my html package for the XEmacs 
+and the GNU Emacs 19. The name of the package is:

 Web (WWW). Eg: In most cases the user gets help to construct a specific 
 link by examples or by a completition list with possible input strings.
