I could swear that wxWindows is, however I think it was on the second or
third disk so often times people did not readily find it.  I agree about
he mirroring, all of the mirrored files were actually on my person
website (which is a .gnue.org address)  When gnuenterprise.org comes
back up please send email to address@hidden stating that
they need to be posted.

Please submit this oversight to the rpm packager for mxDateTime so they
can fix it.
