- Yes, I apologize. I have written this post quite in a hurry, and I have done
- an error in translating the text. I have received ten or more e-mail
- messages telling me I was wrong: OK, I know! Stop please. :-)
- However, the problem is not principally in the $100 or $20 (I can still afford
- $100 one time in three years). The REAL problem is: "I CANNOT have a reasonable
- assistance from C= in my country, so I cannot easily obtain this 2.04 includes".
- The only way is to buy a new compiler with the new includes. So if C= is not
- able to provide a good local assistance, I would like to bypass the problem
- going directly to the source.
- I had some e-mail messages telling me the problem is in non authorized
- copy of the header files going around if they were free. I don't understand
- the difference between modifing acquired header files and modifing dowloaded
- header files. If one people want to bypass the law and break the copyright he
- can do this in both cases.
