Not to give a wrong impression, none of these libraries was written by myself - if have done some specification. I did not follow ESG-libs from the begin - so I did not see the document desribing the (see above **) "stylistic and methodological purity which we apply to our own libraries" . Can you be more specific - I want to forward it to the people who have written the libraries (in fact postgraduated students of MEPHI - one of the most prestigous Moscow universities where SIG teaches Eiffel. Alexei Kanatov - SIG member of the language committee is working on his Ph.D there.) So, why prepare such document and ask in a wider range for donations - I think that many people outside of ESG-Libs are eager to participate. Its so easy to start - why should we not do it. -- Frieder Monninger fm@fm.rhein-main.de 35619 Braunfels-Altenkirchen ++ 49 6472 1449 Germany www.rhein-main.de/people/frieder/frieder.htm
