re: [Rlib-users] Question for all of you

[John B. <jo...@ma...>]

This is a useful feature, but with rlib getting more scripted, it seems =
to me that it's not as crucial. =20

It also seems like you could make it portable by changing the way it =
works to instead be a char[]* array, of alternating key/values, and =
just have the pointer to that in the rlib *r.  That's just a little =
more work for you, but should work across languages.

I would love a way to display today's date in a report -- I didn't see =
a way to do that.
