Re: re[2]: [Rlib-users] here it is... command line version of rlib

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Well.. thats ok for our mysql users.. but rlib also does postgresql..
and soon informx... we either need seperate utilities or one smart one..
I could care less my self....

possible rlib-mysql
and rlib-postgre
and so on

I would like to see rlib/src dir
and have the utilities in there

Could you check out rlib from anon cvs and then provide me a cvs diff

And finally could you sign/fax this thingie

http://rlib.sicompos.com/copyright_form.pdf

You can read why here:

http://rlib.sicompos.com/community.php

It's almost the exact same thingie Ximian makes you sign.. and almost
same as sun... we ask that you do this so that we can legally sell
commercial rlib licenses... so that we can bring in a little revenue to
pay for a lot of my time spent on rlib
