I have over 90 packages to test and distribute to our customers this month, a huge upgrade. I will carve this change out of our local IDE version "with extreme prejudice"! If I can't use the existing downloader/installer I will have to visit each of the 36 customers to "fix" it. Please, if this is something to do with that *&^*(&^ U-voodoo distro, don't tell me so. I have had a gut-full of it and its' refusal to follow convention!!! Not happy, in fact panicking. regards bruce -- B Bruen <adamn...@gnail.com (sort of)> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
