On a typical day, 400 people download the compiler, and the number grows steadilly. This is fantastic! But there's a downside - while I used to be able to easilly handle all the email questions I get, it's starting to be too much. I can see the point where all I do all day is answer email, and I never have the time to work on improving the compiler! So, I do request that if people have technical questions or bug reports, to please post them in the newsgroups here! While I still do have time to read all the email, please indulge me if I don't respond to all of it anymore. Most technical problems have already been encountered and overcome by others who do read & post to the newsgroups, so you're likely to get a good response there. Posting the resolutions to the newsgroups also helps others who may be having troubles with the same problem. Thanks for your understanding, -Walter |

Posted in reply to Walter | EXACTLY!
That's why the newsgroup was setup in the first place!!!
Also... The articles in the newsgroup do NOT expire. So the very first messages
are still there! May be someday I will be able to put in on the web under
www.digitalmars.com and enable the search engine on it!
