It would be nice to put gmond and gmetad fully on top of APR. That would make cross platform compatibility much easier and probably eliminate the need for cygwin on Windows. BTW, whenever you think that 3.1.3 is ready, just volunteer to be the Release Manager and Bernard and I can help you through producing the release candidate(s) and final release. It is actually very simple. Brad ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
