Actually, I take that back: When 32-bit Windows was introduced, and the msvcrt.dll API and ABI defined, was it really that hard to predict that at some time files larger than 2 (or 4) GB will be common? Ditto for when the SPARC replaced the m68k, and code needed recompilation anyway. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
