        Grief; I didn't realize that, good work.

        What platforms Helix GNOME supports is irrelevant.

        Helix Code is committed to supporting GNOME to the hilt and
devoting considerable resources to key infastructure projects, one of
which is gnome-print.

        GNOME is committed to running on all Unix like systems ( and
creating a free software platform beyond that if possible ).
  
        Consequently Jody is geninely concerned that we are portable to
all Unix like things, it is an important sentiment.

        I hope the patches are getting fed back into the main line so that
these problems don't continue. I try to apply these sort of patches even
though often I can't understand what braindamage makes them neccesary :-)

        Regards,

                Michael.
