Re: Mac hardware?

["Christian Edward Gruber" <christian.edward.gruber@gmx.net>]

I've gotten no love from OpenBSD folk nor GNUstep folk on this matter.  Some indications are that this problem was fixed on Free and Net, when those BSD's moved to elf, though I have no idea why that would be the case.  I hope to find out more when I take another crack at it.  I've had to leave off for a few months while I got caught up at my day job.

regards,
Chirstian.
