Glad to hear you are pleased. I am too -- I think the system in
general is quite well designed. And what keeps it running is open
source licensing -- i.e. everyone sharing the fruits of each others'
efforts. If aldor can ever meet this standard, I would be happy to
try to do the same for it, though I understand securing such
permission might be difficult. BTW, what language is aldor written
in?
Take care,
