The most up to date I've found is at: HTTP://home.nc.rr.com/gtkwave/ which is Tony Bybells website. This is the link from the official gEDA page. The version there is 1.3.70. This is the version I'm checking for type casting and so forth. It appears it was released on 08-26-2005 looking at the time stamps on the files - There is no changelog... The upside is that is already compiles under AIX on a PPC, so the work is probably minimal. Incidentally, Tony Bybell says that he is continuing development of gtkwave 1.3.X - It's not orphaned. > That's my $0.02.

If it passes muster with GCC4, I'll move on to another package. Perhaps one that is orphaned would be best. Any suggestions? Regards Marvin
