Since December 15th had been announced as the cutoff date months ago, I think it's fair to say that the 17th is actually an extension. However, in order to defuse charges of Ameri-centrism, I have asked Emacs to pick a random number between 0 and 23 to add to the date that I gave. It said 17. So, the cutoff will be: 16:59 GMT -0800 2001-12-18 So, Europeans, you now have no excuses. :-) -- Mark Mitchell mark@codesourcery.com CodeSourcery, LLC http://www.codesourcery.com
