Resent-From: info-gnu-fortran-request@prep.ai.mit.edu I just received a package in the mail today. It contains one box named "S.u.S.E. Linux" that contains a largish manual of the same title (plus "Unix fur PCs"), a 3CD set of the same title, all dated April 1995, and a separately packaged 4CD set called "LINUX aktuell!" which is dated July 1995. Apparently this is the result of my responding positively to email asking if I'd be willing to receive a FREE copy of these materials. This email was sent in late June, and I had forgotten all about it... until today. The email was sent to me, as I recall, because they found that I was one of the authors of software they were including in the package -- specifically, GNU Fortran -- and they wanted to reward the people who put significant time and effort into the software they were repackaging into this format. I certainly appreciate the people at email address suse@suse.de for such a generous offer, as this is exactly the sort of thing that can not only maintain current levels of enthusiasm for writing freely redistributable software source code, but greatly increase them! It is likely that having this material available to me will greatly speed up the inevitable process I must go through of upgrading my 20-month-old patchwork Linux software installation, which will ultimately result in my having a faster file system (ext2 vs. ext) on my primary system partition, thus making me more productive. Who knows, I might even install X and get it up and running.... Now, of course, I have two new action items on my agenda: 1. Buy a CD-ROM drive. 2. Ask my wife to brush up on her German language skills so she can translate the manual for me. :-) tq vm, (burley) ------- End of Forwarded Message I do not speak for the Worker's Compensation Board of Queensland - They don't pay me enough for that!
