In article <3lfa1f$o8b@NewMedia.comptons.com> kris@savantics.com (Kristian Kvilekval) writes: Is there some reason why the people at GNU are keeping the Bulletin Off-line? Do they want us to write in and send contributions so we can get a look at what's comming down the pike? Or is it that no one has time to store an ascii version? The reason is that they lost the electronic version, and thus have to scan in the printed version first. Unfortunately, the OCR software they want to use is written in Fortran, uses INTEGER*8 and Cray pointers (which GNU Fortran does not yet support), is so slow that it requires the symmetric multiprocessing capabilities of the Hurd (which are not quite working yet), and must run on a P6 (which Intel has not released yet). You'd know all this if you'd read the printed version, of course. :-) -- James Craig Burley, Software Craftsperson burley@gnu.ai.mit.edu
