For example, I think it would be a good idea to have an OS tree directly within Standard, and Windows, Linux, Unix, under that. Each of these might have grandchildren for specific versions of those OSes. Similarly, I don't think Graphics and database bindings belong in Ada or CAL. I think they should go in Interfaces. -- Robert I. Eachus "Quality is the Buddha. Quality is scientific reality. Quality is the goal of Art. It remains to work these concepts into a practical, down-to-earth context, and for this there is nothing more practical or down-to-earth than what I have been talking about all along...the repair of an old motorcycle." -- from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig
