Ah, now I understand. That makes sense. I hadn't realized that the gawkextlib extensions can come from anyone, not just the folks who provide gawk and on your end you're just making those extensions available. Given that, though, why not make the extensions that you ARE providing (like strptime()) part of the extensions that come with gawk since that'd be more convenient for users and you have to maintain them anyway and leave gawkextlib for the extensions you aren't providing/maintaining?Ed Morton <address@hidden> wrote:I will always wish gawk simply came with the extensions already present of course but I'm sure there must be an excellent reason why it doesn't.There is an excellent reason. I don't want to (and simply cannot) maintain every extension that anyone anywhere might ever want to write.
I will think some about the time extensions.
Sounds good, thanks! Ed.
