I don't know, but I'll throw out some guess... The request form may be helpful: http://www.opend.org/Request.html I think Jan Knepper created the site and I suspect it runs on his server. I don't think he follows the D or D.gnu groups usually, but he does follow the c++.windows.32-bits group. As you can see from visiting the site, Burton Radons is the main uploader (dli, dig, etc.). But he hasn't uploaded anything in a while. -- Justin http://jcc_7.tripod.com/d/ |

Posted in reply to Ben Hinkle | It seems like nobody is greatly moved by the new names, so I'd like to motion that it be left as GDMD, at least for now. I mean, it's a nice name that's easily differentiable from everything else and still is representative of what the program is.

Posted in reply to Robert Jones | | How about FDC - Free D Compiler or just DC - D Compiler. "fdc" might be ok (the same ball-park as "odc") but "dc" is the standard "desk calculator" program. |

It's a funny thing... gdmd -- the title of this topic -- is beginning to grow on me...

Posted in reply to John Reimer | Yeah, that's what happened to me. I wrote that post with a lot of suggestion, and then realized that I really like GDMD better than any of them. ;) Owen In article <c1msku$lef$1@digitaldaemon.com>, John Reimer says... > >Ben Hinkle wrote: >> | How about FDC - Free D Compiler or just DC - D Compiler. >> >> "fdc" might be ok (the same ball-park as "odc") but "dc" is >> the standard "desk calculator" program. >> >> > >It's a funny thing... gdmd -- the title of this topic -- is beginning to grow on me... |
