by Bertram Felgenhauer 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

Hi, Please disregard my last mail, I managed to introduce a compile error with my last cosmetic changes. Here's the patch again (amended). Bertram Sat Jun 6 17:37:10 CEST 2009 Bertram Felgenhauer <int-e(a)gmx.de> * Create ar archives with unique object names.
