I do have one misgiving, objection. I would really like to see the functions in RexxUtil restricted to functions that are available on all platforms. Some day I intend / would like to work on making the functions that are Windows only in RexxUtil available on Linux / Unix platforms. I really wish that functions like the WinPrinter stuff, that can't be cross platform, had been put into the WinSystem function library, but it is too late for that. I would really prefer to not add any new functions to RexxUtil unless they are cross platform. Is there the possibility that the functions you are working on that are Unix only be put in a package similar to WinSystem and added to the distribution? -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Oorexx-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
