- i apologive profusely for the delay. apparently the net connection between
- our building and our main feed (internet side) blew up many internet sites
- along the eastern seaboard and the powers-that-be are working trying to get
- the problem resolved. i thought it would be a couple of days, or a week...
- like every other time estimate in life, you need to multiply by 3 :-) anyhow,
- my main connection is too slow to keep up with the gcc updates (the main
- snag was the creation of shared libs), but i have been slowly keeping up
- to date the x386 1.2e (compiled 1.0.2 last night). mail has ceased for the
- time being since none of us thought this would last this long and the sysop
- at the main site doesn't want to switch our route to uucp... please hold...
