Dear all, Apologies for the lack of any communications from me on this topic —a lot has happened in the interval, including me quitting my job and enrolling at university!
I hope to get started on a C implementation of OLC very soon, assuming noöne else has already started doing so. Regarding Shawn K. Quinn's suggestion that a command-line utility be bundled with a C library, it's an interesting idea —I think I'd like to focus primarily on getting a library produced first. There is no reason then that a future command-line program can be produced which uses that library. C is after all still the common-denominator of most systems so having a library (and CLI) available in that language will surely be useful! Best Regards, J.S.
