You require that (1) all files included in the resulting software package be included, and (2) the source code to the library be shrouded. These seem to be mutually exclusive goals. You also use the words "personal use" and "development" as if they were equivalent, but it's clear that this isn't your intent. The documentation says "I'm poor - give me money!" all over the place, from your e-mail address (netzero), requesting Euphoria dollars, requirement of payment if used in a real application, and so on. This is a bit distracting. More problematic, the documentation fails to give a feel for what the library is like. No complete examples are given, nor is any explanation of what "exploit the power of OOP solutions" might mean. After reading through the documentation, I'm still left wondering why I'd want to add all this complexity on top of Euphoria. What problem will using this library solve? Including a cool demo application that demonstrates features difficult to accomplish without your library would be a good thing. -- David Cuny
