Hello Rob!

Replying to a message of Rob Landley to Jerry McBride:

If you did such a thin, I would try it out.  I'm using Cset right now so I
have little inclination to spend the LONG time neccessary to get MEX
running.  However, I have always wanted to at least take a look at it. 
Installation time IS quite daunting, though.

 
Bye, Ed!
