I submit the > following observations and questions for your consideration: The issues raised so far (where I work and use Ocaml) were: 1) no one here knows it 2) possible licence restrictions Since I use the native code compiler exclusively, there's no current problem involving bytecode. BTW: people here read books. An English Ocaml book would provide very strong support for industrial use. -- John (Max) Skaller at OTT [Open Telecommications Ltd] mailto:maxs@in.ot.com.au -- at work mailto:skaller@maxtal.com.au -- at home
