I have talked on this issue before, but want to make one thing clear, ``Arrognace'' was not the cause of the Merge failure. And unless you are either Chris D. or Rod Grimes you don't really know all the gory details and should not make statements about what may or may not have been the cause of the merge failure. ... > > > but always has a convenient excuse when the REAL work or > > committment is called for.

Please hold your patience with Terry just a little bit longer, I think we are going to start seeing his real work in a more visable form some time in the very near future (I predict August based on a shipping date that has been requested as I know just when Terry comes back from Vacation :-)). -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
