I feel sorry for you, being in a position where you sold your soul to bureaucrazy. Here is some info about Mozilla and ECCN: http://hecker.org/mozilla/eccn Actually, since Vim was made in europe, you would need an ICCN (I for Import).

For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question 'How can we eat?' the second by the question 'Why do we eat?' and the third by the question 'Where shall we have lunch?' -- Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
