I'm not aware of anyone - so go ahead (if you happen to have a copyright assignment on file). Try to avoid to have to adjust vec.h users at start, thus keep the macro wrappings (to the extent this is possible, of course). The GC part is most interesting, the vec.h part should be quite obvious. Richard. > -- > P. > >
