Re: API's & Compiling to Prev Release

[dshea@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have a v3r2 machine available for time sharing.  You can get more info at
http://www.timeshare400.com .  Currently no one is using it so it's turned
off.  It probably costs about $50 a month just to keep the thing turned on.
Keeps the office nice and warm, too... :)

But, if someone wants to use it, it's available.  You could use it to test
your v3r2 compiles, or you could use it to develop your stuff.
