Re: [orbitcpp-list] orbitcpp tests PASSED with gcc3 (pre-release)

[Phil D. <ph...@us...>]

Hi Richard,

Thanks for doing this. Unfortunately I'm afraid I'm not going to be
able to test/commit this stuff for a few days; My laptop bust 2 weeks
ago (well alright - I dropped it :-(  - it should be back from the
fixers any time now.

Cheers,

Phil
