      "But I just finished compiling 4.0"

      You should have compiled it using 4.1. It's *much* faster.

      It would have to be infinitely faster to have helped the original parent poster to compile 4.0

      No, just faster than light. If you use a 5-millimeter high font, and put each statement into its own line, that means that it should compile more than 59 958 491 600 lines of code per second.

      That's ridiculous speed, but not quite ludicrous speed {;<]-=

    Azurues can now be used in a 100% free system to download not so free software :)

    From what I know this includes the GNU Classpath merge and means that Azureus can now be used in a 100% Free-Software system.

    That's good for us, considering that the #1 use of Azureus is to pirate 100% commercial software.

    What? Of course it's released. You can get it on ftp.sco.com right next to the 2.7 Linux kernel.

    Actually, I'm pretty sure that C++ is the way to go for Fortran.

    "And I don't want to hear anyone say 'why don't you join GCC to do it yourself', because I have a full-time job working as a C++ programmer and I have barely the time to take a bath, plus it is extremely difficult to enter the GCC development process, due to being highly not-documented (you have to read the sources) and pretty much a closed circle."
