Hi there,


Maybe Derek chooses to stay private with his library now rather than
disclose all his work to the public.  After all, sharing your library
with everyone means they can program everything you can pretty much,
with as much ease.  If you're competing for real dollars out there
that's not usually a good thing 
Microsoft, for example, is extremely careful what they disclose
and what they dont.  RDS has its reserves as well.  With so much
competition out there it just makes sense sometimes.

There's also the appreciation end of it...after all the work you
put in to a large library if people dont express some sort of
appreciation at some point you tend to start to keep things to
yourself, and a lib like that is a LOT of work with little return.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
