For crying out loud, are we going to go thru this AGAIN? RMS: We need a monthly posting explaining that this "newsgroup" is a mailing list gatewayed into news, and that since FSF runs the mailing list they control the group.

People who want info on gcc can subscribe to the mailing list. -- Jason Coughlin ( jk0@sun.soe.clarkson.edu , jk0@clutx ) "Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of." - They Might Be Giants
