No, you complained about missing "PPC" support.  If you say "PPC" or
"SPARC", people will generally assume you mean Darwin/PPC and
Solaris/SPARC unless you say otherwise.

Would you please read what you're quoting.

Sorry, but i'm  _pretty_  shure i said 'PPC/Linux' ... i'm well aware of
the working PPC/Darwin code.

I actually did. Would you please read what i wrote? I was referring to the
code that Heinrich Taube provides on the LambdaGTK website - since this
tar-archive doesn't mention your name or its origin i wasn't sure whether
the ppc stuff was actually written by you or by someone else contributing
to the LambdaGTK code. Meanwhile i checked out the CVS stuff and it _does_
indeed look like your code. Unfortunately there seems to be no history in
the CVS so i've no idea about what patches were applied when.

 Thanks for the information

Hi The lambda-gtk cvs doesnt contain Thomas' source code -- I provide a 
link to his tar file in point 3 here:

http://common-lisp.net/project/lambda-gtk/lambda-gtk.html#installation

the contents of the tarfile was posted to the sbcl mailing list by 
thomas. I put the tarfile on my machine here at the university so 
people who wnat to work with gtk in sbcl can easily download it. I dont 
think i added or removed anything from the contents of the tarfile.
