I was under the impression that at least the gcc community is already working on that. "Fixing" gcj thus need not mean implementing the stuff myself, but also providing bugreports and testcases etc., which we wouldn't come up with if we just stay with the status quo. With free projects there's at least a possibility for us to help. -- Sonja Krause-Harder ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Research & Development SUSE Linux Products GmbH --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
