At any rate, I'm following the suggestion of 'vischne' and posting a request for the sources to the "enhanced" libslang and the other library mentioned below. Can anyone help with this? Many thanks, and remember to copy my E-Mail address as I'm not subscribed. Steve On Mon, 23 Feb 1998 vischne AT ibm DOT net wrote: > Tell you what.
