@Alberto & Harry 256.52 appears to fix the "won't start" issue (without needing ABI ignore hints), but also appears to have performance issues. I get slowdowns and choppy 2D and 3D effects when using it. Will 256.53 help? On 10-09-01 07:01 AM, Harry wrote: > Alberto, > please build the deb pack

The business model can be considered similar to Wikipedia. Global collaboration for the benefit of everyone. The creation of a valuable resource for humanity. Here are some questions for you to consider: Does mathematics have a viable business model? Do you still use it? Is it of benefit to you? A
