Oh, I know. Frankly, I'm annoyed (not to the point of actually doing something, yet) that Tcl will build under MinGW out-of-the-box but AOLserver won't. Is there a real downside to only building AOLserver with gcc (other than the lack of full 64-bit support on platforms that have it)? -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
