It *is* rude :) It's just... in my overzealousness I thought that Joe would definitely give me a O.k. ;) Strange optimism (or pessimism, because it seems that it's still a lot of work to let mpg321 be a really good, free replacement to mpg123... nevertheless Joe Drew did a *great* job) I uploaded the package to the server so that I can use such a mpg321 version (with some really small fixes of bugs that really annoyed me) on every machine. Then I thought, once uploaded, I could also make it public.

You'll me, because I re-indented the code which can be found in the .tar.gz. :) (I thought that was useful because there was a scary indentation-style mix...) > I do agree that not waiting for at least a week can be considered rude > and is certainly overeager.

I think *I* would get angry, especially if it is a project which caused that much time. But my personized overeager also told me to make a fork (which doesn't use libmad0, because it seems a bit.... mad), but that's more rude than asking for adoption ;) regards, sbeyer
