Thanks for the comments. One big benefit I've seen on 3.3 on Windows: it 
cuts over 1.5 MB off some of the sample SWT apps executables!

However, during most of the writing of the article, I was on 3.2. I did 
think about recommending 3.3 in the article, but I wouldn't have had 
enough time to test on it. It would be a real bummer if I recommended 3.3 
and then readers ended up with problems.

Even so, if you think it is very important, I can check whether I can make 
a last-minute edit to the article.

Thanks,

Kirk

Hi,

>to, and became interested in, GCJ only through your article.)

Same here!

>it would be much better if you could provide a link to
>Mohan's GCJ 3.3 build (http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc33_mingw.htm) 
>as well.

I wholeheartedly agree. There's no comparison considering the numerous
bugfixes and enhancements since 3.2.

>Mohan, it would be nice if you could upgrade to 
>binutils-2.13.90-20030111, w32api 2.3
>and  mingw-runtime 2.4 (if you haven't already, that is).

Duly noted. I will put out a quasi-final 3.3 build in the next couple
of days.
