I know hppa had issues, and I know pear.debian.org has an environment that we can use. The same is likely true of other architectures too. It would be nice if someone other than you and I could look into that, but at least we have resources to do so if need be. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
