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. -- =============================================================================== Arcadio Alivio Sincero, Jr. Sophomore, Computer Science Major at the University of Maryland at College Park Amateur competitive bodybuilder Email: lotu@wam.umd.edu, WWW: <coming soon to a web site near you!> "D.A.R.E. .... to keep cops off donuts."
