Hi Andreas,

thanks for the heads-up.

It is a long time I did not have to use software such as MELTING, but
after reading the homepage, I confirm that dropping version 4 while
introducing version 5 should be fine.  After all, version 4 also does
not contain all features of version 5.

Have a nice Sunday,

Charles

Heads-up for melting 4 users! (Was: Replace melting version 4 by melting version 5 or additional package melting5?)

Hi,

if none of the melting4 users will mind that their beloved tool will
vanish and be replaced by something new but incompatible I'll go on and
will put meting5 directly into the package melting.  Please do not say
you was not informed. ;-)

Kind regards

Andreas.
