[AG-TECH] RE: AGVCR

[Derek Piper]

	Hi Phillip,

	Still crashing though?.. that's not good. I'll try and work on that. It 
runs for hours on Linux without problems (that's the machine I have with 
the most disk space so it's where I record our meetings).
	Something about Windows or windows-specific code, or GTK under Windows ...

	Derek
