- I thought I'd better let all the people who e-mailed me know what was
- going on. Boy did I get a flooded mailbox. Anyway I've been busy with
- assignments, my thesis and other related work, plus I've been waiting for
- another drive to arrive. So finally I've made the diffs. They're
- against a bare bones 3.0.1 release. I haven't yet had a chance to upload
- them to an ftp site, but I'd thought I'd better warn people who were
- interested to grab the original source. (It's around 3Mb so it may take
- a while.) Hopefully I'll get the diffs uploaded within the next two days
- and I'll post a follow up when they become available. I've also tarred
- up the two libraries which were compiled with GCC v2.2.2 so for those of
- you who don't have 24Mb of memory, or must have TIFF support, they'll be
- available also. I will not make any of the sample binaries available as
- they're just too buggy. I am making the patches available in the hope
- that somebody with some spare time can have a look and also share some
- fixes. Most people were interested in Doc, but at the moment it's not a
- pretty sight. It compiles fine, however I can't make any sense out of
- what shows up on the screen. Again it's something for somebody with
- some time to look into. If you're tight for drive space you may have to
- consider something else. The source tree for 3.0.1 is around 9Mb, whilst
- the two libraries are 3Mb. Then you have to have space for the things
- you want to compile. Executable size for ibuild is 2.5Mb, for idraw it's
- 1.5Mb. When (not if:-) we get proper shared library support ala SunOS this
- should drop, along with the memory requirements.

- Roger.
