Re: [bug-GIFT] gift 0.1.8/cvs24.may compilation bugs.

Hi,
Thanks for your clarifying remarks. Some of it is late, as most of your 
complaints are fixed as of today's CVS (at least I hope so).

Interesting.

The iostream.h => iostream stuff were *warnings* in my gcc 3.1 version. 
However, the initializer stuff are real *errors* that make compilation fail. 
As I said, all should be fixed in today's cvs.

...I was rather speaking about the applet->application part.

As most researchers try to do some web demos of their work, we were hoping to 
conquer the world using GIFT, PHP and Apache, in fact ;-) . And there is the 
other part of conquering the kworld using kparts and konqueror.

I see this point. 
Thanks anyway
