Paul, others have told you already -- among them Chris Lewis in nanam,
so this is not specific to egcs -- but your style is barely (if at all)
acceptable.
There is absolutely no need to treat volunteers (like myself) and others,
who already do work much more than they're getting paid for, that way.
With regard to Paul's request: Jason, I noticed that indeed the egcs web
server apparently does not provide "Last modified/Last changed" data.
As an additional data point, my Apache 1.3.4 machines do provide that
by default, but I failed to find any setting in httpd.conf on the egcs
machine that might disable that.
