What bugs me most is that *nobody* for a loooong time was even trying to send patches to get cron running under 9x/Me. To quote from cron.README: ======================================================================= Cron is neither patched for nor tested on 9x/ME. If it doesn't work, feel free to send me patches to accomodate 9x/ME. If you have problems, I assume it will have to do with file permission or user identity checks, probably. ======================================================================= See what I mean? Patches? Therefore my willingness to support 9x is pretty low. > Thanks Corinna. > >From recent threads it looks like that would make people happy :) Probably but I'm tending to become mean. Creating a new cron version would run contrary to this effort. Anyway, the new release is already uploaded so what the heck...
