Excellent! It worked perfectly.

Your patch appeared as an attachment in my email program.
I saved the attachment as a file named darcs-13421. Then
the commands

  cd axiom--windows--1
  darcs apply ../darcs-13421

applied the patch - just like snapping my fingers :)
I scp'd the file to axiom-developer.org and applied the
same patch to the repository. I was done in 20 seconds.

I am REALLY beginning to like darcs! :)

I would like to do the GCL 2.6.6 patches next. Since as
a patch this would be quite large because of the new gcl
tarball, if you are still on a slow internet link I can
do this from my local sources after my next rebuild
(by tomorrow).

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Bill Page.
