RE: Fixing Imake

[Suhaib Siddiqi <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

I know what are you trying to explain and I agree X should be able to read
textmode and
binmode, this problem should be fixed.  However it not as easy as fixing
imake.
This issue has been on my list since the begining, but there are far more
important
issues and problems needs to solved.
