Richard, 

yes thats true.  i got the OS X beta this week but havent looked at it
yet.  Sam told me that egcc was probably to be on it, but havent looked
at it yet.  He said they had version egcs 1.1.2 running in the lab.  I
don't know what theversions of egcc are to say if this is old or not?

 i will at least try it to see how it works as soon as i can clear off
enough disk space to install the os X worstation beta.

best jim
