nsoft's code is distributed as obfustated C (literally, it's scrambled so you can't tell what's going on) and then they tack on an Obj-C cover file onto it with methods such as: - (int) do_something_interesting: (int) a : (int) b : (int) c The code works, sure, but it's hard enough to work with that I found myself wondering if it would have been better to just write the library myself anyway... -- Adam
