It would have failed without some fixes that Bill Fenner stuck in and sent to me. I encouraged Bill to send the fixes then to Satoshi, but I haven't heard from either Bill or Satoshi. I cc'ed Satoshi to this, and if he tells me he hasn't heard from Bill Fenner, I'll send the fixes myself. I dunno where it hangs right now. > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
