hello and happy new year to the GMPI !

Amazing ! an other year ! :-) did you see that the present is sounding more
and more like the future i described 2 years ago in a message of March 11,
2003... :-)

Well, the question is interesting API vs C-Dispatcher !? this sound like a
beginning ! :-) addition or substraction ? :-) true or not false !? :-)
Fromage ou dessert !? :-) ancestral dilemna ...

what can i say ? (for the single intelligent e-mail from me of the year !
:-), to program also means  to make choice according constraints. So you
first problem is to define the constraints, and to do that you need to
consider a real situation...

And what is a real situation !? ... for developers i mean ! :-)  let's think
about that... one year again :-).

regards
Vincent Burel
