I don't know how many people it really is, but there are a number of Linux people who consider it to be a major blocker. And the really insidious part is that there's going to be quite a few more who _would_ consider it to be a major blocker if they realized it was happenining. Instead, they just end up with buggy code. - Jonathan M Davis _______________________________________________ dmd-internals mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-internals
