Dear Marc,

one thing I am missing for an open source software. If you don't develop
BlackBox anyx more please not only give the comunity the source but also
the documentation of the internal modules.
I am sure that we will find experts for the different parts like
ruuntime environment complier etc. to develop it for use in the future,
but only from the source code it is hard to understand.
If you rae able to, also you should provide the ideas behind the
modules, objects and methodes.

Best regards
Detlef Jankowiak-Evers
