Compared to what's on the horizon, E 0.16.x pales. Which is why I said, and I still say, that it's not state-of-the-art. The EFL suite is lightyears beyond E 0.16.x in every way, and anyone who has so much as *browsed the docs* can see that. > i digress - the point - EFL does make e16 look primitive. mej is > right in that respect. we need to move this on - and help would be > good - not USERS, but CODERS. good ones. :) Bingo.
