Thank you very much.

But I don't have time now to learn how this file must be used. For what
usage is it for? To create a RPM package (it could be great)? Please 
tell me because I don't have time to learn this...

Definitely NO! The development of GDSL has not ceased. The 1.1 version
is quite ready: you could see the actual changes since the 1.0 by
looking at the NEWS file:

http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/gdsl/gdsl/NEWS?rev=1.5&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

When GDSL 1.1 is released, a mail will be send to gdsl-announce mailing
list.

You're right. In fact GDSL 1.0 was sufficient for my actual own devs
and I used it for other devs (CFL for example). I wrote also LWL
which I need for my work. So GDSL didn't advance during this
period. I'm now ready to finalize 1.1 version.

Of course it's perfect! ;^) Seriously, it's of course not perfect.
I'm not proud of the hash and heap modules. They will be extended
in the future (with maybe a little incompatible change in hash module).
I plan also to add an efficient symbol-table module.

You can make any suggestion to the gdsl-general mailing list.

Best regards,

PS: please consider sending your mails about GDSL to the gdsl-general
mailing list. By this way everybody could learn more about it.
