wrong - you are under the mistaken impression that the GNU project has developed and maintains the GNU toolchain. That is not correct. Many individuals have done and are doing this - the only thing is that some of them use the 'GNU' word. In fact, if I am not mistaken, Redhat maintains and develops a good part of it. So without RMS and without GNU, the toolchain would still exist and linux would still flourish. As far as I can see, those projects that are directly developed and maintained by the GNU project do not work properly and are mostly useless - like hurd. -- regards kg http://livejournal.com/lawgon _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
