Greetings! If there is any ansi feature currently implemented in gcl
2.7.0 which you would like backported to gcl 2.6.2 before we release
it, please let me know and I will consider. In general we are too
close to release now for such items, but we have still mysterious
windows problems outstanding, which may delay the release long enough
for a simple backport to be feasible.
Take care,
