Re: [Fab-user] [PATCH] Fabric on Windows

[Jeff Forcier]

Hi Max,

Thanks for the patch! Did you see the earlier posts by Kevin Horn
where he introduced the code your patch updates? Just want to make
sure everyone's on the same page.

Your solution obviously looks neater; as long as it's not cutting out
any large portion of Windows users (i.e. if it cuts out Win2K users or
XP pre-SP2 or goodness knows what...not a Windows guy really :)) we'll
probably include it. Can you vouch for the platforms it'll work on (or
at least let us know which one(s) you've tested it on, if any)?

You can see Kevin's earlier post here:

Thanks,
Jeff
