- Actually, it's gcc 2.3.1 :-).
-
- It would take next to no time to compile the new version, but I have
- plans to do a more comprehensive job this time to eliminate some of
- the problems I've observed in the earlier versions.
-
- Unless people have a crying need for it I will hold off for a while.
- This is a good idea anyway, I'd like to see what comes up in the
- gnu.*.bug groups first.
-
- I am also without a machine at the moment. I lost my system partition
- for the third time in a month. It seems OS/2 doesn't get on well with
- these new caching IDE controllers.
