I am not interested in the tmk stuff, but i think it will be better to split the current source in two : ocaml-curses and ocaml-tmk. It is just a question of keeping some code that has already been written. Maybe, someday someone will want to use ocaml-tmk (or package it). I will be on vacation for one week without internet connection. Don't be surprised if i only answer you in a week ;-) Regards, Sylvain Le Gall -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
