While I agree that we definitely need API samples, I think it would be better to get 4.0.0 out the door and add in samples as we get them done. For one thing, the external packages that we have contain a lot of examples on how to build an external function package and use the APIs in that context. For a second thing, I started last night working with RexxCreateInterpreter() and will have at least a couple of very simple examples done before March 30. I think these examples will be at least as good as the current 'old' style examples. So, in that sense we will at least be at the same level as 3.2.0. The incubator (well actually SourceForge) has that great feature of being able to download a tarball of a whole directory structure. We could put some better examples there, after the 4.0.0 release, but way before the next release. It seems to me that the people who would want and use the native API samples, would not be overwhelmed by grabbing a tarball off of the incubator directly. Oh, by the way. I just did a spell check and saw RexxCreateInterpreter() pop out in red. Which reminded me how much fun it was to work with that last night. These are really cool APIs Rick. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
