yes - that and being part of something bigger than they are. ... trouble with that is that both Wine and Samba are small parts of a much larger picture that not many people understand or appreciate. i've endeavoured to give you a glimpse of that picture. > Were you asking for funding as many times on the samba mailing lists as on > the wine mailing lists? If so, I can begin to understand why they banned > you, it gets _really_ annoying. dear ge, it is not my intent to annoy. i spent nearly four years working on samba: it _was_ fun (up until 2000), and there was enough incentive in the work i was doing for security companies (ISS) and other interested parties (people who needed samba to be a PDC) to employ me to continue to research the area i was interested in. that time is now over: so i am therefore focussing on other areas where there may be interest in funding such development. i thank you for your time: when i have enough spare time and money or if someone comes forward to provide sponsorship i will provide you with all the patches in the world. l.
