I'm very interested in libtar and from next thursday I will be at home so I will have really much more time to hack on GnomeZip and gnozip, I hope we may ret in close contact after next wednesday so that we may give a boost to libgarp/gnomezip development. bye, Simo. -- sim...@ti... http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/9757 |
