does its job very well! =) I fear that it will eventually fade away
and stop compiling on modern linux systems. =(

True. I can do simple C-stuff, and I can tinker around even, until I get stuff to compile. But as soon as it gets above beginner level, things get murky.
Fortunately Eduardom, the current maintainer, is very approachable and even answers here in the news group. So on more than one occasion he has helped me with a patch and advice. That in itself, is worth its weight in gold!
