I see the term appearing as a noun, as in: "We supply X Windows bindings for Ada". My inference is that they are what I have thought of in the past as libraries. Before making a fool of myself in front of someone important, I figure I had better ask. (Oops, not that you people aren't important: I mean someone like a *customer*). If my inference is correct, how did this term happen to be selected instead of the more common (I think) "libraries"? ---- Scot McIntosh Internet: psm%helios.nosc.mil@nosc.mil UUCP: {ihnp4,akgua,decvax,decwest,ucbvax}!sdscvax!nosc!psm "These meetings will continue until we find out why no work is getting done" - Sign on conference room in Los Alamos. -- ---- Scot McIntosh Internet: psm%helios.nosc.mil@nosc.mil UUCP: {ihnp4,akgua,decvax,decwest,ucbvax}!sdscvax!nosc!psm
