He now know knows we offer it to all. Just a final clarification on this dead thread. I should have been more clear in my reply. The original comment referred to Cygnus making its sources available for some price. Cygnus Support does make its sources available to all customers. Therefore, there is a price which you can pay to get a Cygnus release. Simply become a customer. Perhaps Cygnus will get sufficiently organized someday to provide these sources in some other fashion, unsupported (although, as anybody who has released software to the net know, there are many, many people out there who do not recognize the concept of ``unsupported''). I have no idea, myself, whether anybody would actually want them. -- Ian Taylor | ian@airs.com | First to identify quote wins free e-mail message: ``Let me state here a personal conviction that appears, right now, to be profoundly unfashionable; which is that a planned economy can be more productive - and more morally desirable - than one left to market forces.''
