Re: how to read a file into a GString

[Peter Jay Salzman <p dirac org>]

wow --- you just made me look, and i just noticed that libglib 1.3 is
available for debian testing.  if so, my guess is that it's available
for just about every linux distribution except for debian stable and
perhaps slackware.

that justifies using it in my programs that are distributed to other
people.   can't wait to look at the reference manual to see what new
goodies are available.  kinda like a christmas present from the gtk
developers.  :)
