EFLIB strategy and encouragement

Sun, 26 Oct 1997 13:24:20 +0100

* The EFLIB project have changed strategy: we now aim to establish a
standard template library for every Pascal programmer.

Hello all,


* Introduction
EFLIB is a free object-oriented library aiming to become an open
standard for all Pascal programming languages. EFLIB includes data
structures packaged in classic ADT's, data streams, filtering and
conversion, text processing, mathematics (including matrices, complex
numbers and vectors). A cross-platform GUI is planned for EFLIB.

EFLIB is licensed under a GNU compatible license which is not ready.
Therefore, the source code is not released to the public at this time.

* Try it
You can go to http://ftp.sunet.se/EFLIB/ to download EFLIB or read any
of the on-line material.

* Get involved
We'd love to see you getting involved in the EFLIB project! EFLIB need
help from expert programmers on any Pascal platform such as FPK Pascal,
GNU Pascal or Borland Delphi. The prototyping language is Borland
Pascal, but efforts are made to make the source code very independent of
the PL dialect.

* More information
Check out the Home of EFLIB, especially the on-line documentations and
the specification PostScript documents at
http://ftp.sunet.se/EFLIB/Manual/Documents/Specifications/.

* Mailing lists
You can subscribe to any of the EFLIB mailing lists
(eflib-users@ts.umu.se, eflib-developers@ts.umu.se). Read the how-to at
http://ftp.sunet.se/EFLIB/Lists/.

* Response
If you decide to get involved in the free GNU-licensed Pascal standard
known as EFLIB, you are encouraged to write an e-mail to EFLIB@ts.umu.se
or jola@ts.umu.se and give a some brief information about yourself.
We'll discuss the details with you.


Best Regards,
