I thought about this, too. However, maybe an addition might be needed in the direction that if you use the library, you may do so, *but* you have to supply the source code of the library in the form you use. That would mean you can ship a product with the library in it, without the need to give out object files for your product. However, if you have made improvements to the library, you have to give them back to the community. cu Michael -- Michael Schwingen, Ahornstrasse 36, 52074 Aachen ------ Want more information?
