[comp.sys.acorn] My binaries on Newcastle: an apology.. :

gtoal@castle.ed.ac.uk (G Toal) (05/14/91)

I seem to have been having a spate of cock-ups lately with stuff I've
posted to Newcastle; notably ptc and mnemosyne, though I suspect also
others.  Much against my better judgement I'd been including binaries
with the sources -- and it seems I've accidentally been compiling with
a version of the compiler I had from Acorn to beta test instead of
the release version.  This show up the idiocy of Acorn's method
of implementing run-time linking in my book, but that's small compared
to the idiocy of me not testing properly :-)  In future if I supply
binaries at all, I'll link with Ansilib so that there's no chance
of software rot setting in.  I encourage other posters to the net/
archive to do the same.  Even better, just post sources.

PS I'll notify everyone when I update Newcastle with fixed versions; thanks
to everyone who supplied patches.
