Well, I'm just about to finish the Opium-M documentation. I will send an URL
where both the documentation and the first release of Opium-M can be retrieved
as soon as it is ready (probably tonigth). 

I would also like to report that some students here at INSA (computer science
engineer school) will soon work on a Tcl/TK GUI for coca (a C version of Opium)
that should also work for Opium-M.
