Yeah^3. What's really embarrassing is that I've made that braino before on this list. Sigh. Eloy is certainly correct about OSS letting folks add features for themselves. However, this particular situation is (IMHO) one which calls for effort by the "core team". Specifically: * Simply figuring out which parts of the interpreter are involved would be a major undertaking for any "luser". * Even offering patches to the interpreter, in its current state of rapid change, might cause Laurent and company to lose time and/or focus. So, I'll leave this as a request: if there are things that the core team easily can do to keep the PPC code running in some fashion, please do so. -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume rdm@cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, and web development
