Is Zend.COM still developing a compiler and bytecode protection? If so, how do you expect the PHP development community to change once classes become marketable products and how will the Zend language accomodate classware developers and users? I can assure you that the day a compiler and bytecode protection become available, I'll get the order to abandon PHPLIB development from my management. I will be ordered to concentrate on the development of a new commercial PHP web application application framework, using the experience (and definitely no possibly GPL infected source!) we gained from PHPLIB and PHPLIB use in that new framework. And I firmly believe that my company is not the only one waiting for that day, as there already are some PHP classes which are only available on a commercial basis. What is the official Zend.COM party line on this future development? Kristian -- Kristian Köhntopp, NetUSE AG Siemenswall, D-24107 Kiel Tel: +49 431 386 436 00, Fax: +49 431 386 435 99 Using PHP3?
