The library may solve their current problem, but shurely does not improve their skills. It may lead to 'readable' code, in spirit equivalent to: X =..

Relevant question! You should think about it. Just one comment: other vendors often say: in X we have the builtin Y to solve Z. This is nice to know and pretty harmless if still an ad. I prefer BIM does not do that, unless many others have allready done it. (yes, we have 'sread') Andre' Marien bimandre@cs.kuleuven.ac.be Disclaimer: This is a personal message.
