Howdy, 
 To keep the mailing list clean I will setup a gnuwin32 on my personal
Web site. It will be http://www.deninc.com/gnuwin32 there I will
maintain all UNOFFICIAL patches fixes updates. If you have one instead
of sending it to the list send it to me an I will put it in the right
spot on that site. Then everyone can just go to it an download it. You
can also send a small email explaining what it is to the list. I hope
this helps... Oh by the way its a T1 so it shouldn't be toooo slow..
although some are used to faster I'm sure.....
 Oh by the way send patches or anything else you think others would be
interested in to jman AT lx DOT net I'll setup an ftp incoming dir soon...
