>From: borchert@MATHEMATIK.UNI-ULM.DE (Andreas Borchert) >I don't agree. You don't need standardized libraries for portability. >If you have the sources of a complete library then it is sufficient >to port your library. Are you suggesting that every application program should redevelop all its storage manager libraries, I/O, OS interfaces, real arithmetic, etc. from scratch? Or did I misunderstand this: perhaps you mean that every user should develop his own sources and use them for all his own applications. If every application has to carry its own library sources then they cannot be called libraries: they are just extra modules that are tailored to that particular application. -- EP Wentworth - Dept. of Computer Science - Rhodes University - Grahamstown.
