Exactly right. I will also add that the new Modula-3 compiler is much smaller than the old one, and builds much faster (under 10 minutes on my 1.13 GHz PIII). Basically, the main reasons people avoided the port in the past have been eliminated. > (This is what has caused the problems, since the X libraries are > linked in dynamically in the package, instead of statically as > before.) Yes, that was an unintended side-effect. I'm going to create a "cvsup-without-gui" port to address that problem. John -- John Polstra John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
