Re: [Simplygnustep-discuss] Build problems

[<ceh...@ma...>]

Hi Peter,
   thanks for trying it out.  I'm sorry to say that I will not be able 
to work on this project for a week or two at least.  This is because 
I'm in the U.S. army and am quite busy right now.  Pretty soon I will 
be back in full-force!

Thanks,

Chad
