Hi, what I found on that page is following: File: jrtplib.html has 1 possible URL: 0 OK, 0 bad, 1 skipped Port maintainer: hopet@ics.muni.cz http://lumumba.luc.ac.be/jori/jrtplib/jrtplib.html: Not checked (Last actual result NEVER [checked 0 times since Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 1969 ]) File: jrtplib-2.7.tar.gz has 1 possible URL: 0 OK, 0 bad, 1 skipped Port maintainer: hopet@ics.muni.cz http://lumumba.luc.ac.be/jori/jrtplib/jrtplib-2.7.tar.gz: Not checked (Last actual result NEVER [checked 0 times since Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 1969 ]) Summary 0 files fetchable out of 2 Where is the problem? Both URLs are OK. Cheers, Petr ================================================================ Petr Holub CESNET z.s.p.o. Supercomputing Center Brno Zikova 4 Institute of Compt.
