Shawn's extlib did not exist in early April 2003: http://web.archive.org/web/20030404000203/http://raevnos.pennmush.org/code/ocaml.html In fact, Shawn himself claims a release date of April 23, 2003 on http://raevnos.pennmush.org/code/ocaml.html (The link db has June 6, 2003 for the initial release: http://www.npc.de/ocaml/linkdb/list.cgi?type=author&frames=false ) By Shawn's release date, SF extlib had had it's first commits and had been mentioned on the mailing list for almost exactly one month: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ocaml-lib/extlib-dev/extLib.ml http://caml.inria.fr/archives/200303/msg00323.html and had been discussed in a public space under that name for another month: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1703091&forum_id=29880 Yours, Florian. ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
