 ## Code Status
 
-This version with spiffy decode in fall of 2020 is stable, but not
-quite to the commercial quality level of the previous code. A little
-more testing is necessary for it to be at the previous commercial
-quality level.
+This version with spiffy decode in fall of 2020 is a big change

+Should the previous version be necessary, it is available in 
+the branch BeforeSpiffyDecode. Please file an issue in GitHub
+to report any problems.
