21.03.2001 EMX Fix 4
Eberhard Mattes has released fix 4 for emx 0.9d. You can
download it from ftp://ftp.leo .org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/gnu/emx+gcc/emxfix04.zip. EMX is a
library for OS/2 that is required to run most software that
has been ported from Un*x. The full package also contains the
gcc compiler for OS/2.
Hi mark,

hummm... should i wait our should i patch... it's only been out
four days... hummm...
Backup. Patch. If it messes things up, restore from backup.
I have d/l'ed the patch archive, but I haven't applied it yet.
Perhaps this coming weekend
BTW: did you get my netmail reply dated 24 mar 2001?
No.
It seems message traffic in and out of Z2/R25 is a little flakey
(or even flakier than usual) at the moment. I netmailed you
instead of posting another message in the echo because I thought
echomail was slow, but it seems netmail is taking the long route
too

The nodes at _both_ ends of the Z1/R25 link have dropped out of
FIDO, so a period of problems was not a suprise.
Z2/REC26 Jon Hunt is going to drop out as of 13-Apr-2001. For
this and many other OS/2 and some more echoes I am his Z1/Z2 link.
I'm going to assume who ever his downlinks are, will find another
route within Z2.
Routed netmail is even more of a gamble than echomail (and often
slower!) :-(. The only reliable way is to crash a message
direct...
Former Z1EC Sid Balcom has dropped out and AFAIK Janis Kracht has
taken over as Z1EC now. Often netmail travels through the EC, so
that is another potential problem. And since John Souvestre
dropped out Janis has switched to Bob Seaborn for her backbone
feed.
We live in interesting times. May the changes be pleasant for
you.
