In netuse.lists.phplib you write:

I most certainly did not understand them. I did read them, and I
worked my way through the code, but I found them to be to
convoluted for my taste. I will work my way through Ulfs code,
though, and remove the documentation from his source, as PHP3
is an interpreter and spends time even in comments (PHP4 does
not do this).

That's easy. Put a Suse Linux CD into your CD-ROM drive, and
follow instructions. You too will see the light, my friend, and
put away with old hats. :-)

Me? Release dates? How that?

There is a CVS branch in the CVS, and branches suck. I will
extract the current 7.2b release and put up a seperate CVS
archive. If you have CVS passwords, you can use that branch.
Bugfixes only.

More information about that tomorrow.
