X-Authentication-Warning: delorie.com: mailnull set sender to djgpp-bounces using -f Message-ID: <20020222134258.14002.qmail@mellon.com> From: Brozewicz Robert F To: "'djgpp AT delorie DOT com'" Subject: RE: BeOs Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2002 08:42:15 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com i have an idea! when i first found out about djgpp and dj delorie, i thought your first name was 'delorie' too and i was wrong and never got reprimanded. why not do this, when someone joins the list you send an automatic e-mail to them that states who you are and how you would like to be addressed. also include a little blurb about how we should use correct grammar and spelling. an i see a bunch of bad spelling in e-mails that are posted here. just my thoughts. -----Original Message----- From: DJ Delorie [mailto:dj AT delorie DOT com] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 12:14 AM To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Cc: jade AT cdict DOT umcc DOT cu Subject: Re: BeOs > Hey Delorie, do u have any version of djgpp for BeOs? It's not polite to refer to people you don't know by their family names. "Hey DJ," would have been better, but still not appropriate because this is a mailing list, not my personal email address. Your mail went to thousands of readers. No, there is no such thing as DJGPP for BeOS. DJGPP is a port of the GNU tools to DOS. Porting a DOS port to a different operating system makes no sense. You should be looking for a port of the GNU tools themselves to BeOS, which would have nothing to do with DJGPP. Try searching for "gcc beos" with your favorite internet search engine. And it's spelled "you" not "u". ***************************************************************** DISCLAIMER: The information contained in this e-mail may be confidential and is intended solely for the use of the named addressee.
