Thanks, BTW. I really haven't tried 4.6 yet either, for similar work- |
| 10 |
related time constraint reasons, and IIRC that overlay hasn't been around |
| 11 |
for /too/ many cycles, so I've not really had a chance to use it. |

But thanks for the effort. It is appreciated, and I now have that |
| 14 |
overlay on my mental checklist for the next time I /do/ decide to unmask |
| 15 |
gcc. Having gone thru several cycles without it, I'm already sure it's |
| 16 |
going to be /quite/ a benefit. =:^) |
