In the news article where I posted the bug fix for the pipe read
I asked if making a symlink from /usr/src/linux/include/linux
to /usr/include/linux is a valid action.
Nobody answered me.... 

I also asked why there are two set of includes ( one in /usr/include
and one in /usr/src/linux/include ) and if it is possible to merge them
Again, no answer.....

In another article I asked if anybody has any informations on the
Colorado QIC-10 tape drive or if anybody know where I can get any info.
No answer....

I begin to think that my university does not post my articles in the net

Anyway, anybody is willing to answer to at least one of the above 
questions ?

Damiano;
I am a beginner/intermediate, so... watch out for my answers...
but...;
 
>to /usr/include/linux is a valid action.
 
I know that it is possible to make that kind of link, though I
do not know enough to say whether that is necessary. I did do
links in /usr/include to /usr/local/include for gcc stuff and
the compiler all of a sudden worked, it was hardcoded where
to find the stuff...
 
>and one in /usr/src/linux/include ) and if it is possible to merge them
 
Same response.
 
>Colorado QIC-10 tape drive or if anybody know where I can get any info.
 
Way beyond my knowledge.
 
>I begin to think that my university does not post my articles in the net
 
If this article response gets to you then you are okay.
 
>Anyway, anybody is willing to answer to at least one of the above 
 
I am willing to answer anything that I can.

BTW:  Is anyone interested in contributing to the new release, or am I going
   to have to get all the GNU stuff and do it myself?   PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

I wanted to reply to your original message, but just didn't get around to it.
Yes, I think that the ABC-release is needed now more than ever. This mess
release without source cries out for the ABC-release.

I'm still moving my adaptec to drew's scsi, so I haven't been able to help,
but I expect to compile RCS-5.6 and more, and upload binaries *AND* diffs,
original source(?) *AND* explainations on how and with which libraries
it was compiled.

As the situation is now with gcc 2.0 and libraries (changing all the time),
we *really* need source and evt. diffs.

PS: Sorry for all you using the adaptec, but it should be there RSN.
