The last time I ran them was for 5.005_03, according to google. Back then, it took about 28 hours for make and make test to run, and only two tests failed (one in io/pipe, which wasn't allowing enough time for extremely slow computers, and one in lib/complex, which I don't remember being completely solved). If I remember to bring some disks to work (mmm, lovely sneakernet), I'll have a go with the latest bleadperl, but it'll probably take the whole weekend, what with all the stuff Jarkko's stuffed in. -- Peter Haworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] "C Code.
