[GRASS5] Leaving

[Thierry Laronde]

Hello,

We have some discussions (mainly monologues of my own) the past weeks
and it seems clear that I'm not on the very same wavelength with others.
And my tone has perhaps not always pleased people.
As we used to say when I was in the army: "lost, but grouped": it's
always less damaging to go grouped in a wrong direction than to be
scattered all around.

So the best method to see what is indeed the correct way is to test: I
will go my own way starting from the last CERL public release, since my
needs are not cutting edge ones and I have already done a fair amount 
of cleaning (this means mainly deletions, and 
standardisation/ansification is on the way ---and I have now a more 
clear idea of the work done by Markus since, yes, one can not say that 
if one wants to compile on a POSIX system with -Wall -Werror it does 
compile out of the box!).

My plan are, too, to resurrect the X Window/Motif interface which is far
more challenging, at least for me: I know at the moment strictly nothing
about Motif programming and there has been a fair amount of changes
since 1991...

But open source is here precisely for people to learn and to adjust for
their exact needs.

Regards,
