As this is my first post to this newsgroup, I thought I'd start by
saying how wonderful I think nqc is etc. I got the RIS 1.5 for xmas and
had nqc up and running in no time on my linux system. As well as being

exclude those unable to run mac/win32 binaries, but it also makes the
bugfix process more difficult.
I would be interested to hear thoughts on this.
