Comments are expected to contain > TeX source. But stupid "industry" don't like TeX. :( They wants HTML or somthing like that. Is there any HTML output formatter for ocamlweb? Industry knows nothing about literate programming, as well as about many other progressive technologies. P.S. Maybe, all that we need, is a RAD tool for ocaml? It can look like a better module finder ("module name" -> "file name" is not a good idea. Paths in Java is much better), and a lot of reusable modules for common tasks (database, GUI)... -- V.S.Lugovsky aka Mauhuur (http://ontil.ihep.su/~vsl) (UIN=45482254)
