Thanks.

Alex, let me to explain my situation.

Principally I'm an IT consultant working (busy at 110% of my time) on
Systems Administration and Systems Deployment, while I became a Squid
developer mainly for my personal hobby.
I have learned at university (more than 15 years ago ...) Assembler,
Fortran, C and Pascal, but never C++. or any similar language.

I'm not a wizard of C language programming or a Squid guru like
Henrik, but I was always able to understand what a piece of code of
Squid 2 does.
Now I feel really frustrated when I can't understand why a single
line of code of Squid 3 doesn't build or why your patch works .... :-(
I have also tried to learn C++ by myself, but with little result
because I don't have enough time for the job.

For a while I'm asking to me if is time to look for a new maintainer
of the Windows port of Squid 3, and today I'm thinking that probably
this time is gone ... :-(

Regards

Guido
