RE: [Gcl-devel] Windows GCL 2.6.1 compiler bug?

[Mike Thomas]

Hi all.

Sorry for the delay Bill - I've been out of the office and expect to be so
for at least another week followed by a brief reappearance and then possibly
a week or two in the middle east.  I'm in the office today for a quick email
check accompanied by a four year old who is rapidly getting bored so I can't
pay much attention to this now.

Yes that's a bug in the configuration but unfortunately will have to wait
until I'm back.

Cheers

Mike Thomas.
