Would you support '{INTEGER 16} 2' instead of '{INTEGER_16 2}'? Would you support the fact that all classes conform to ANY? BTW, will you add `same_type' back to ANY? Well, I'll stop here. No, I do not belong to the SmartTeam, but it is hard to believe that you would have supported it after having read the messages in this mailing list during the past couple of years. >>should save my energy to try to make Gobo work with SE 2.2. > > > What are your problems with 2.2? It does not change that much from 2.1, > apart from adding new libraries and fixing bugs. Did I miss something? `clone' and `equal' removed from ANY. 'case_insensitive' option not supported anymore. `infix "@"' made frozen in STRING. `file_exists' redefined in FILE_TOOLS (making code which inherited both from FILE_TOOLS and ANY invalid). These are the problems that I had to deal with so far. -- Eric Bezault mailto:[email protected] http://www.gobosoft.com
