Claim that GPL 1.1 and GPaL are vaporware

Stephen Warrior declared that the GPL 1.1 patch and Jack Rambo's GPaL would never appear. Others mocked his impatience, Adam threatened to report TEN guide Yves Menard, and Joel Willstein reported that the patch had been held up by a bug Alison Hine found about two weeks earlier.

So what's your point ? -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -- NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -- SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -- Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -- May the Downforce be with you... "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."
My point? Give me a break, I think that it's pretty obvious.

What? That just to placate your impatience Messrs. Papyrus and Rambo will immediately zap their progams to you via express delivery just in case they incur your wrath? Give us a break!!!

Aren't you a guide on TEN? OK, I was going to send off a few e-mails to some people at TEN and NROS and explain how you are poor representive for them with several comments that you have made on this newsgroup. I don't believe that they would want their reputation to be ruined by a guide such as yourself. Thanks!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... how delusioned you are. Good luck staying getting/staying on TEN Adam. Then again, Francois is a good sport, you might get away with it. Suggest you read Francois' sig again.... hehehe, sorry dude, you crack me up.

Oh, I'm sure the CEO of Sierra is even now issuing clear and explicit instructions to his underlings now that he has been goaded!!!! :o) As for Mr. Rambo.........no doubt he's also trembling in his little cotton socks. Nothing like a good goad to get the show on the road!

The gpl patch was held up due to a bug that was found in it about 2 weeks ago by Alison Hine. It should be released within the next few weeks. Joel Willstein
So it's Alison's fault? I say we get rid of her! that way any new bugs wont be found<g> -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= Member of R.O.R. 1999 http://w3.ime.net/~marknjess/ror.html ========================================= Racing online with the help of......

Of course, I have something here: opinions expressed presently are those of ymenardT and not those of TEN?. Nice try, dude. I've been a Guide for 10months (the only one mostly), done more work than you think. If you think Im a poor representative of TEN, even if I helped every people who had problems with it here (and the NROS newsgroup), shame to you. I do great work, in fact it's a reason while Im still doing that after almost a year (and we are expanding our Guide program on TEN very soon). And please don't tell me what and what to not write on r.a.s. I've been here more than long enough to know this. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -- NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -- SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -- Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -- May the Downforce be with you...

Hmmmm, expanding? You guys (guides) are gonna be very bored once N3 hits the streets.

How do you know he wears cotton socks? Is there something you aren't telling us? Tore

On Fri, 02 Jul 1999 19:40:54 GMT, "Stephen Warrior" >Prove me wrong. >Please! You will be proven wrong, but I still think it will take GPL 1.1 to get GPal. GPal's first release date was 31-5-99 (if there wasn't any date sooner than that). And there are a lot of 1.1 features included in GPal, so somewhere I have this hunch that GPal will require 1.1 (I would if I programmed the program). Which causes the delay, since Jack Rambo said he would release a version and then post updates on his site. Not too say either Papy or Jack is lame, but I still think the two are related. Randy pointed out some time ago that the 2 release dates are not related, but I still say (more detailed): release_date(GPal)>=release_date(GPL1.1) Meaning GPal will release after 1.1, no matter what. Eh, prove me wrong? ;-) Ruud van Gaal MarketGraph / MachTech: http://www.marketgraph.nl Art: http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery
>Anybody with the name "Rambo" would be wearing cotton next to his skin. >None of that girlie nylon ***for Jack, matey! I think that Jack is really Sylvester Stallone. He was probably doing some research for his upcoming Formula One movie, bought GPL and got hooked. Luckily, unknown to most folks, Stallone isn't just the steroid laden lumox from the Rocky movies (Yo, Adrian), but is also a software engineer in his spare time. Dave Ewing
