Hello Sean, > My concern (though maybe unwarrented, someone more familiar with these > matters might correct me) is that fmt is released under the GPL and I > recall us having problems with things like readline in the past.

I'm also not an expert in these licensing issues but to my view a "clean-room" implementation should be more appropriate. I'm off for a few days. It would be nice if you continue the discussing and perhaps even begin to code some lines to get it running... Regards, Dominik
