Stallman doesn't like the Mac...) and that'll run under MPW. A small point but I don't think Stallman has anything against Macs. Its Apple he doesn't like (and anyone else who throws copyright suits around)... Since Apple are thus hindering development of quality software he doesn't believe they should be able to use "his" (ie GNU) software. I'm not sure I agree with him but I do respect his views and ponder the morality of porting GNU stuff to Apple platforms when the authors would rather it wasn't done... Shouldn't the "porter" just go out and write his own? Now I duck and wait for the FLAME! ;-) -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- A.J.
