Hi Tom,

i've worked on the OS specific stuff to reduce and consolidate it.
I've switched to use a compressed MetroWerks project file and
i've removed everything that isn't really neccessary.

It looks much better now I think and I hope you like it.

Is it possible that I can maintain the Netware specific stuff so you
don't
have to worry about these files?

best regards

Ulrich

This seems a quite unreasonably large amount of stuff to expect us to
maintain for one port. Especially when half of it is a binary file
that we won't even be able to read, much less maintain.

Perhaps it's time to give up the notion that Netware is a reasonable
platform for us to consider supporting.

regards, tom lane
