[Squeak-VMdev] Re: [Squeak-Commits] squeak/platforms/unix/misc/rfb - New directory

[Cees de G. <cg...@cd...>]

Ok, I'll drop that directory (or at least the contents - someone with 
SSH access needs to go in and physically remove the subdir). Did I miss 
an announcement somewhere?

Which endianity issues remain? I'm on a wrong-endian platform (i386), so 
if there are issues I'm interested in fixing them.
