Hi, I should start with the standard caveat that I hope this is the right place to post this. The web site refers to questions and bugs, but not to 'feedback'. I'm sure someone can point me in the right direction. In any case, I just wanted to point out that I have just downloaded the February 2000 archive of Hugs98 to my BeOS R4.5.2 x86 machine, and it compiles and runs just fine. I am new to Hugs, so I have not been able to 'run it through its paces', but the compile comes off without any errors or warnings, and running the sample "say" program as indicated in the installation instruction works wonderfully. This may seem like a foregone conclusion to many, but in actuality, a lot of programs targeted for unix systems does not actually compile and run properly under BeOS. Perhaps someone in authority to do so could post up a link to BeWare (http:// www.be.com/software/beware/) and BeBits (http://www.bebits.com/) with links back to the Hugs page and/or archives. These are the widely respected distribution points for BeOS software, and as such, a link on them would effectively constitute an announcement of availability of Hugs on the BeOS platform. Many of the BeOS news sites track and post any new entries to these sites. Note that BeOS runs on x86 and PPC hardware, and I do not have a BeOS-ready PPC system to try it on, so I can't guarantee that it also works on that side of things. (They use a different compiler -- the metrowerks mwcc instead of gcc.) Anyway, I hope this was of help. :) Now I'm off to start reading the documentation! -- Irfon-Kim Ahmad http://members.home.com/irfon/ahmadi/
