It was just a temporary effort to develop a port of v3.79.1 but it didn't work out very well. Please give Andreas Buening's port a good testing. If it works properly, maybe we can say goodbye to that myriad of old ports which seem so have propagated over the years, many of which are different releases of v3.76.1 but with there own little quirks which are liable to trip you up if you are using a different release to the one a particular porter is using, and which results in you having a problem which no one else can reproduce. -- John **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Mon, 20 May 2002 19:53:26 +0200 From: Andreas Buening Subject: Re: make 3.79.1 John Poltorak wrote: [snip] > Good to hear from you again, Andreas. > > I thought you might have disappeared...
