Re: [MinGW-dvlpr] SF File Release System and MinGW

[Earnie B. <ear...@ya...>]

I have finished about 90% of the changes to the FRS.  All files have 
been moved to there respective new package and release.  All Notes and 
ChangeLog data has been copied to the new releases.

I still need to modify the release date and I may want to modify the 
Notes section slightly in each package.  I will inform you when I've 
completed all changes.
