Dear Rex,
of course CPC Collection will publish your command processor if it is
running under BlackBox.
Just send it via Email to mailto:collection{([at]})nowhere.xy
About Opal: Do you have a different source as from CPC? Currently Opal is
not complete on CPC. Juan gets the missing part running, but I have not
publish it yet. Thank you to Juan ones again. The problem is that programs
that use the whole Opal library doesn't run under the BlackBox environment.
They run as stand alone programs only. I have not looked further at this
topic. There must be a redesign of this modules.
Regards
Helmut

P.S. Keep up the good work, guys. There really is a lot of great stuff
there. But if I may say so, it's just a little hidden. Show them, and they
will come.
My answer to Wojtek is off list, to avoid bandwidth pollution. Let
me know, though if you are interested in my command processor, which is
simple, extensible, powerful, and virtually totally reliable. But I suppose
BB users are not interested in any of those attributes. ;-)

Bingo! If only I had thought to look. Actually, I found this *before*
I read Helmut Zinn's reply. Here is the missing library, already converted:
http://www.zinnamturm.de/#Opal
My points in writing were (1) to illustrate some of the barriers to
adopting BB and (2) to point out that there is a major standard library that
is nowhere to be found in the BB distribution. There's not even a mention
of it. I think you ought to include it with the standard distribution,
because there's a lot of programming for which that's good enough, or even
better than more elaborate methods.
In fact, isn't something like that supposed to be in every
distribution, according to the Oakwood recommendations? I, for one found it
a big turnoff that I had to look so hard for it.
