[gopher] Re: UMN gopher/gopherd 3.0.3 available

[Robert Hahn <rhahn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yay!

Thanks, John!  I will go test it out... ah... Thursday night. yes. I 
have a final tomorrow in computer science structures, so I really 
must study. :)

I would like to take this regex.h business to Apple and see what's up 
with that.  As *I* understand this, OS X has a BSD layer, so IMHO, 
whatever acrobatics you had to do shouldn't have been neccessary. Am 
I naive or what? :)

So: if you don't have the time to liase with them, could you suggest 
a way that I could report on this? I think it's gonna be more than a 
diff file that'll  be required...

Oh, BTW, I'm intruiged with your Disk Copy idea.  Am I understanding 
correctly that if I create a virtual UFS hard drive with Drive copy, 
and throw the source in there, that it will build and put the files 
in the appropriate directories that just happens to be on an HFS 
partition?  I'm not sure I'm clear with this question... well, can't 
hurt to try it, anyway...
