Re: binary kits for 21.0?
I agree. I've been waiting for a new release for sometime now. I check the
list daily waiting for news about the new release. I don't believe the
release I currently have is of any use to me now since I've already
identified and reported the bugs associated with this release. The more use
the binaries get's from the real users the faster the bugs will be found and
fixed.

We should do binary kits NOW. That has been my opinion since about July
last year. We are taking way too long to get 21.0 out the door and I
believe we will lose more users by not releasing binary kits than through
releasing something that has bugs in it. 21.0 is pretty good. Why do we
have to wait for 21.1? In mswindows land I would expect that there are
*currently* binary kit users in the hundreds - and this is with b60 or so.
If we don't do binary kits people will simply keep using this which is
plainly daft.
