[Axiom-mail] [Fwd: [Axiom-developer] FC5 success (well sort of)]

[Raymond E. Rogers]

Attached is an email I  previously sent 4/2006.  Most likely it doesn't contain 
anything new (or
possibly relevant).
I haven't been following the conversation in detail;
 and have had distractions from participating.

I am doing copies to all since I understand that the axiom-mail has enforced 
new reply policies.
