As I've observed, despite these efforts, we don't have a library. That's why I remain skeptical of another effort to get a bunch of guys together and develop another library on speculation with no indication from the vendors or the ARG or anybody else in a position to impose a standard that they'd even be remotely interested. If the answer is "No" from the start, I don't want to waste my time. I applaud anyone who wants to develop a library. I'm suggesting that if the people in a position to actually make such a library into a "standard" were interested, it would get a lot further. MDC Warren W.
