Re: [Chicken-users] New egg: hopefully

[Sudarshan S Chawathe]

I cannot seem to access this egg.  'chicken-install' doesn't know about
it (yet?) which didn't surprise me too much, but I also get HTTP 404
errors when using the link to the source from the egg's doc page on
call-cc.org (and ditto for the link on the askemos.org page):

  http://askemos.org/chicken-eggs/hopefully.tar.gz

Is there some other place I should check?
