[Stephan Oepen]

hi andreas, and others,

regarding our CLIM display issues, on 16-mar-07, you emailed:

and then, on 21-mar-07:

as far as i can see, that was the last message in this thread.  so, it
would be good to have an updated status on Korean and Japanese display
in CLIM.  our application remains crippled in this respect.

craig and kevin, what is your current view on CLIM as a product?  our
customer experience, sadly, remains unsatisfactory.  once again, may i
suggest you consider open-sourcing the CLIM code base, such that maybe
the McCLIM community might pick it up and merge over time?

                                                   best wishes  -  oe
