Somehow I wish we could find a more permanent storage than the "website". The website interface at opensolaris.org doesn't appear to use a version control software or something similar as backend and one single wrong click may delete the file (we're now basically on the old road which leads to the problem that the original code may be gone in ten or fifteen years and nooone remebers where it came from or where it's stored. But maybe I am worrying too much... ;-( ). AFAIK the best option may be that I burn the files on a CD and then defer the issue to "later" and then rush with full force to get this putback done... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
