Looks like you learn something new every day. Does Fish have microGNU version 1, or does he still have the beta version? -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mike Portuesi | | Carnegie-Mellon University Computer Science Department | | | | ARPA: mjp@spice.cs.cmu.edu | | UUCP: {harvard | seismo | ucbvax | decwrl}!spice.cs.cmu.edu!mjp | | | | "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture" | | --Laurie Anderson, "Home of the Brave" | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

>Does Fish have microGNU version 1, or does he still have the beta >version? Fred has - and is distributing - mg vs 1a. The readme file claims it's beta 0.4; the readme file is wrong. As previously mentioned, there's also a bug in the browser on that version. The fixes are in my mailbox, waiting for me to get around to looking at them. After I do, I'll probably send another disk to Fred, with all this in place. Sigh. I'm glad I'm not having to do this for a living. <mike

Unfortunately the correct readme file did not reach me until after the first release of the disk, and I have a policy of not altering disks once they are released (to avoid confusion). -Fred -- =========================================================================== Fred Fish Motorola Computer Division, 3013 S 52nd St, Tempe, Az 85282 USA {seismo!noao!mcdsun,hplabs!well}!fnf (602) 438-5976 ===========================================================================

How about posting the correct README file to the net? Then it would be trivial for anyone who so desires to add it to the disk (or replace the original file).
