  • Next message: Stephen Sanders: "Problem with brat on Mac OSX"

    Hello,
    I will remove the BrFS... from the repository.  Even though it has some 
    nice code in it (although I am getting far enough removed that I am hard 
    pressed to say what nice code), we obviously can analyze data without it 
    and the chances of it seriously being used are close to 0.  In addition, 
    if someone has blinding insight where they absolutely need it, as I 
    understand things in CVS, it will be in the attic, so it could be 
    retrieved although I would not know how to do that at the moment.
    
    I am getting ready in the next days to make a somewhat substantial 
    commit to the repository and I will remove it when I do that.
