Re: Visual C++ and GDB compiling


Hello Todd Whitesel,
Thanks for the mail. As you know I could not retrieve the file using the
private ftp in
the first mail. With this it was possible to get it, and I have downloaded
it so far.

The only problem now is the utility to handle the *.bz2 file, not on my
current terminal.
I hope to get my hands at it soon.

Again thanks for the reply.
Best regards,
Paul.
