I have right the same problem. It seems to me that some of us, still using 0.93 for stability reasons but needing recent packages like gcc 2.7.x or tcl 7.4/tk 4.0, could try to build and publish a.out based versions of them, just to make easier the transition between 0.93 and 1.1. Unfortunately I don't know the exact method to do that (compile a package configured for elf to generate a.out) out from the source code, but I've heard it is possible. Some feedback on the subject would be really useful as a starting point. Regards, M. S. ------------ Martin A. Soto J.
