Hi=2C
     Can you please tell me whether Charmer-0.2 is required to run GIFT.  I=
t seems the link in http://www.gnu.org/software/gift/mrml-clients.html is b=
roken.  Where can I get a downloadable Charmer-0.2?
     Also the demo page in all the GIFT official sites is not working.  Is =
there any working GIFT demo page?
regards=2C

Hi Henning and all=2C

      I just built the major portion of gift-0.1.14 under Fedora 12 after m=
any modifications in some of the source codes=2C though they are all minor =
compiling issues.  I wonder whether this gift-0.1.14 is the best version we=
 can get.

     I by now have not been able to know whether the gift built by me works=
 or not.  But I can not find a detailed documentation in the GIFT web site.=
 Why is it so?  I also can not built the doc portion of gift=2C and got the=
 following errors. =20

    Can you please tell me where I can find detailed documentation for usin=
g GIFT=2C and also the PHP interface for integration PHP with GIFT?  This i=
s important for me.

    Thank you very much.

Zhigao
