Indeed.
That would certainly help.

Clean is not "just a research vehicle", in the sense that it is stable and 
fast enough for others to be used.

However, we are paid by the university for teaching and doing research. They 
don't stimulate implementation work at all.

The amount of time we can put into user wishes, ports and so on is therefore 
very limited. Sorry.
Consequently, the near future of Clean is primarily driven by our research.


Greetings,

Rinus
