RE: [Axiom-developer] Re: [Gcl-devel] RE: GCL 2.6.1 on Windows XP

[Mike Thomas]

Hi all.

| Greetings!  Mike, do you have a moment to upload a binary without the
| path hard-coding?

If I can't get it done tonight (Sunday, unlikely) then not until Friday at
the very earliest I'm sorry as I'll be out of town and without a computer
for the coming week and away from computers most of today.

Cheers

Mike Thomas
