Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of UserTools

[Spencer H Visick]

Hi,

I'm attempting to resubmit my project, but it appears that my System
Name is now taken. Did my previous submission reserve that name? Would
it still be possible to use this for my System Name?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Spencer Visick
