Greetings!
This issue and several others have been addressed in the
bug-fix-only-point-release-candidate (whew) 2.6.8pre:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/gcl
cvs -z9 -q co -d gcl-2.6.8pre -r Version_2_6_8pre
This is way past due for release. I am only waiting on a volunteer to
test a windows-only read patch -- alas our heroic windows volunteer
has resigned. If anyone here can help please let me know. It would
be nice, but not required for release, to get a mac intel port working
too.
Take care,
