Hi Pedro, You are getting unpatient :). Maybe Gnumeric's team is needing a few more hands, right? IMHO, Jody and Morten have given you a rather complete answer to your concerns about Win32 builds (in particular, note the fact that Windows is *not* their development platform). Complaining is

Hi again Jody Just to clear where I stand: I'm not a brat shouting on a mailing list. I'm someone who cares about Gnumeric and is trying to contribute to have a stable, powerful Windows spreadsheet. What modifications or suggestions have we ignored ? I'll make another win32 release when it
