Should I ask for the old one to be closed and ignored, then submit the new version like a first time? or should I send a diff of the update? It may not matter, but the old version had patches and the new one does not, they switched to the new autoconf which handles pthreads well... -- -Erik [http://math.smsu.edu/~erik] The opinions expressed by me are not necessarily opinions. In all probability, they are random rambling, and to be ignored. Failure to ignore may result in severe boredom or confusion. Shake well before opening. Keep Refrigerated.
