  i tried to reach CVS over the last days - without any luck ;(
  it looks as if my CVS version is clear out of date - the newest
  file is from 24 nov ... CVS/Root is :
      :pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gcl
  did this move ?

  anyway, cross fingers that I find some time to attack two minor
  problems - I'll mail the patch to Camm, in the hope he'll merge
  it, to whatever version is current ;)

    Use (help) to get some basic information on how to use GCL.

  Its new to me that my transmeta is emulating mc68020, I had some
  netbsd/68k up and running ages ago, but I never managed to port
  BSD368 to mc68020 - time for an autoconfig guru meditation ...

  The second attack will also be on configure.in, to provide a
  --without-tcl flag. It would be nice, if Debian could provide
  a naked ANSI-GCL that does'nt require TCL/TK, in addition to
  the gcl/tcl/tk monstrum. A short `grep (Depends|Suggests).*gcl
  /var/lib/dpkg/available` showed that no package depends on
  gcl, currently. I would therefore suggest to depend Axiom on
  gcl-nox and Maxima on gcl-tk package. 

Bye Michael

ps: I'll detect DEBIAN by the existance of /var/lib/dpkg/available.
  I would be glad, if anyone can provide their locations to detect
  RedHat, SuSE, (Net|Free|Open)BSD, MacOS/X and M$Windows via eMail.
- please ignore this call for files, if you read this in mai 2004 or
  later, and your distribution is not yet autodetected at this time.
