  The coupled eta-N, pi-N, gamma-N, 2pi-N system is described by a K-matrix
method. The parameters in this model are adjusted to get an optimal fit to
pi-N-->pi-N, pi-N-->eta-N, gamma-N-->pi-N and gamma-N-->eta-N data in an energy
range of about 100 MeV or so each side of the eta-threshold. Compared with our
earlier analysis, we now utilize recent Crystal Ball data. However, the outcome
confirms our previous result that the eta-nucleon scattering length (a) is
large with a value of 0.91(6)+i0.27(2) fm.
