Re: [Rlib-users] here it is... command line version of rlib

Maybe.. I need to look at it a tad closer.. but I have 1000's of emails
to get to after being away 6 days.... I was hoping python/perl bindings
would be the command line version of rlib... but If you want to clean up
test2, call it something else and make it more generic I would accept it
