Hello Rene and all Rooters Thanks for the endorsement! RootAux is adding 1-2 sites per day. I encourage people to use it to find things, and to list themselves on it. If there are any problems - I'm only an email away. About supporting project listed at RootAux; REMEMBER IT IS CHRISTMAS! We should be kind until the New Year when most people have got themselves listed :) Tim Smith On Fri, 14 Dec 2001, Rene Brun wrote: > Hi Tim, > > Thanks for this nice posting.
