Right, but thats exactly what I'm talking about. It would be convenient to have a consolidated system on the order of libc. There are many packages that provide functionality that is similar to libc but eventually those libraries are consolidated into a single library that people can count on. This would be a free software equivelent to the java base classes that is a single managed and coordinated framework. The final product should be similar in spirit to libc. -- ___________________________________________________________________ Ean Schuessler An oderless programmer work-a-like Novare International Inc.
