We really should make more use of mogul. In an ideal world libraries such as this would first live in mogul a while, where they can be easily used, extended, rewritten(!), until they are considered useful and stable enough to move into the Standard Library. E.g., the xml handling libraries were first mogul libraries then moved to the standard library. The two main advantages of having a library in the standard library are that it will be maintained as part of mozart (and so should continue to be compatible with future mozart releases) and are (usually) automatically available in mozart installations. One big disavantage is that the standard library is usually only re-released when we release new versions of mozart, which discourages people from contributing to them ... k _________________________________________________________________________________ mozart-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.mozart-oz.org/mailman/listinfo/mozart-users
