Wojtek:

I agree with you.
I think Marco will need to discuss its contribution closer with Oberon
to avoid having multiple paths. 

I imagine we are an small community and 
having too many paths might not be the best idea.

Integrating efforts will create an stronger group.
If really nothing can be done to be together, then, c'est la vie.

I really hope that BB 1.6 is out soon, and then Marco might be able 
to create a BB 1.7 (or BB 2.0 or  BB 3.1416)  on the top of BB 1.6, 
and everybody then will really have a unique an solid set of releases.

Federico

Walter:

  I want to support your point. I am using BlackBox for my
mission-critical data acquisition. The great feature
of BlackBox is its maturity and stability. In many instances
I have seen strange features in my data. I can be absolutely
certain that the problem must be in my experimental apparatus
and not in BlackBox software. It is essential for me that
I can trust the data acquisition software, rather than suspect
that something is flaky there.

I consider myself lucky that Oberon Microsystems
released this great package and are still supporting it.

Concerning Marco's release, I think it is a great effort
and certainly worth applause, but it would be good if it was
closely coordinated with Oberon Microsystems.

Thank you,
Wojtek

PS: I am about your age. I consider myself 50-year young.
My skiing is still improving. I hope it will keep
improving for at least the next 20 years. I plan to turn
to middle age on my 70th birthday.
