Hi,
OSLib 6.60 is now available at http://ro-oslib.sourceforge.net.
I had a major disaster with one of my hard discs last summer; wiping out my /home volume. I'm pretty sure I recovered all the files, but if your favorite submission is missing from the release, that'll be the reason. Please let me know if that's the case.
