The sources actually stored in the Pear CVS are more experimental,incomlete 
or broken!!!

On the homepage of Ulf (www.ulf-wendel.de) is a Zip-File witch contain a
earlier rewrite (03/2001) of the OOH Form afer PHPLIB. These sources seem to be stable.
Also on the page ist a really good workshop in german about the new benefits.

Ulf announced a complete rewrite for november 2001, but I think he is out of time
at the moment. This rewrite would then take place in the pear cvs, I guess.

Do someone else use the sources from his homepage in production sites???
