Frontier 5: Public release of Frontier 5.0/Mac

Frontier 5 is a now a cross-platform product! On Saturday we released the
first public alpha of Frontier, version 5.0a22 for Windows, and today,
12/10/97, we have released the Mac version of the same software.

Our first goal in getting this release out was to get that core set working
properly on both operating systems.
