	'eh?  Actually, I do believe GPM is mirrored to a site closer to 
the U.S..  That's where I got my copy of GPM.  I forget it 'tho.  I found 
the mirror by checking out one of the many Modula-2 related links on the 
Web ... some dude put a link to it on his page.

	As for the documentation ... you gotta be kidding me!  Unless 
you're speaking of the HTML version, I find the documentation for GPM 
excellent ... especially for the price (free).  Really well done.  Go get 
your self the PostScript version and a copy of GhostScript and see for 
yourself!  

	I guess there's just no pleasing some people.  Man, you shouldn't 
be complaining considering what you get for the price.  The whole GPM 
package for Linux is a rather excellent, IMHO.
