Fixing it in the obvious way would be tantamount to breaching your hard earned copyright....the main reason I object to copyright on free software in the first place. That being said, it is the lesser of two weevils and I will forego my right to offer working versions of my dodgy code, for the benefit of various beaver dams and the rights of fox hunters everywhere. Incidentally, I appear to be unable to post new threads to this list, whilst being able to reply to existing messages just fine. Thus the reason I joined the list in the first place appears to be negated and we shall all now disappear in a puff of logic. I've now tried posting my email correspondence with you to the list twice, William, without it showing up successfully. Perhaps you ought to post it. I'll delete my posts if they ever show up. My experience is they'll turn up within 3-4 days. Bill. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
