RE: [Bug-gnubg] Fatal error

[Albert Silver]

If I understand correctly, that's good news. I am revising the tutorial
and was placing a special mention on the FreeType issue since I have
gotten more than my fair share of complaints due to this. Are you saying
that as of now, or at least next few days, the normal builds will
function without difficulty in Windows 95/98 systems?
