Rich,
I transferred all the pre-release 1.4 sources to your machine. They
compiled with gcc (version 1.35, according to your message), linked
and ran without even a warning message. This really surprised me,
because other people have reported reams of warning messages from gcc
in the past, and I haven't changed some of the things that annoyed it.
If someone else with a different rev of gcc would like me to try
compiling on their machine, I'll be glad to do it. I just need an
account accessible from the Internet for both telnet and ftp, and
about 2.5 meg of disk space. Also need the X11 library (just for
compiling and linking), and (GNU) emacs for minor editing.
As a bonus, you get to run the pre-release 1.4 before anyone else
gets it. :-) A few things will undoubtedly change before the
official release (planned for a week or two from now), so you'll want
to get the files again when it comes out. Be sure to read history.doc
to see what changed.

Hi Peter, That couldn't be better news! (Especially for me since I was one of the ones who got alot of messages with the same compiler (1.35) makeing gs 1.3.) If there is anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask.... If you would like me to try the installation holler. I would guess that it would be more useful to you if I tried it from the tar file you distribute. I ran it and read a few of the docs. If I get a chance I'll look further at todo.doc. Congrats, RIch
