| sounds interesting... but why are you "not comfortable" with | the idea of having perl installed in a production environment?
Because my experiences with that are very bad. Perl is good for UN*X-based servers, but its implementation in NT is not good, it has the tendency to take too much CPU power, especially if more than few scripts is running simultaneously. If you don't use the Active Scripting component, it creates too much running processes. And the AS alternative is much slower than VBScript or Jscript. | also i noticed your released your tools using the gnu gpl | license... well you can't | really distribute the source for windows scripting host or other | dependancies... which is required in the gpl license. No, it is not required. GPL doesn't require the needed parts of my program to be GPL too. Using this logic, Xmail itself cannot be GPLicensed, because it's Windows version needs Windows to run. GPL is one-way: covers the idea of incorporating GPL licensed product to something else. The result must be under GPL. But I may use non-GPL portions in my software, if their license allows it. It allows me to build free application on top of commercial background. Additionally, WSH is major component of Windows operating system, which makes falling it into final paragraph of the 3. part. | XML does indeed have a bit too much overhead... as xalan Well: the motivation to use XML for me is to have generally compatible format, accessible for any other program, withount need to write special parser for specific file format. But I agree that the XML is very "gossipy" format, which may be not soo practical, but it's related to the universality mentioned above. -- Altair - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
