UPDATE
        This is a small update to Yak 1.52,  it fixes some bugs found in
        1.52 which were related to localization.
        Yak 1.53  mainly adds localization and  a french catalog  and an
        installer script to Yak 1.5a which was  the last version written
        by Martin W. Scott.
