ZS>> I think the answer for (1) is 'yes'. The answer for (2) depends ZS>> on how big it is - if it's big, I don't think it makes sense to 22 files of code in one directory. Around 500K of diskspace. I.e., comparable to expat, which we have in-tree. ZS>> include it in PHP, as it's fairly esoteric. Including a pointer ZS>> to where you can download it would be better (assuming you can ZS>> download it in a way that is then usable by your code..?) As for No, you can not, AFAIK. At least, I was not able to find drop-in library replacement. There are some versions here and there (includeing in SuSe and Debian) but their are not full and not good enough to serve as a drop-in for PHP. We could made a tarball with this library, but since it'd be pretty much custom-made for PHP, why not have it in the tree? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.115
