Hi Jeff, Not at all! We think Piper is cool! We don't want to part ways. Back in October, we just really needed to focus on coding BlueBox itself and realized that adding people (Mythical ManMonth style) would slow down the project. It was a hard decision, but we really needed to focus on the project. Please feel free to use BlueBox when it is released. It uses the word model -as opposed to the object model - which I think you'll find very useful for Piper. We're going to be releasing the C++ source - which can only create non-scripted interfaces) tommorow and putting the Python version in CVS. A *useful* developer version should be available at the end of April. It is being released under the BSD. Anyway, we were planning on emailing you tommorow when we released the source and thanking you for your patience as we got this together. Best of luck on Piper: I think you guys are working on something great. Nile P.S. I will be working hard on the source code the next week and responding to people, so there may be a small delay in replies. On Fri, 23 Mar 2001, J.W.
