- Now he's arguing with the author of the library about its size, when
- the archive is sitting there for all to see, at atari.archive. The
- archive is dated 23/11/93, and contains files with the sizes I quoted above.
- As for `they bombed more often than not', I can say that the example.prg
- of GEM++ 1.99 only runs on 68030 machines, due to GCC 2.5.7 being used to
- compile it.
-
- I'm truly getting annoyed here, and I apologize to gem-list readers for
- having to re-iterate myself due to Dan/Ken's posting of vastly
- incorrect and unchecked `information'.
