Re: Swarm 1.1 Available

[Robert E. Bell]

For what it's worth, I just built swarm and heatbugs on NT4.0 with no hitches
whatsoever...no separate compiles and no file replacements...just downloaded
cdk, then swarm, then make. Don't know if I ever built swarm so painlessly ;-)
The hardest part was waiting for CDK to dowload...good grief.

Perhaps there is a difference between building under NT and Win95?

Now back to cdk....how the heck do I make this bash window bigger?!  Anyone
played much with cdk yet?
