Does this message start a new thread? How do I go about continuing/adding to an old thread? I received mail directly from John Eaton and Soren Hauberg when I wrote before. Am I correct in thinking that, to view responses in general, you must actively do so (i.e., use a browser and visit the list website)? Concerning development and use of packages, how much is platform specific? I currently have a MacBook Pro as my main computer. I have tried several times (over several minor releases) to install the image package without success. (I have installed other packages, and I have Imagemagick.) Is this likely to be a mac issue? More generally, is it the case that the main code the people contribute is generally portable to all main platforms? Or is coding often a more subtle business, writing it on one machine, taking it to another and testing it, making changes, etc.? I may have an opportunity at funds for a Windows machine, and I guess I need some insight as to whether there is the need/justification for it. Thomas L.
