[Needle-hackers] Can we have some examples, please?

[Eric GAUDET]

Hi,

I just discovered Needle, and I liked it right away  ;-)

I think one important "feature" that needle has is its c-like syntax (the
lack of this in ocaml is why it's not more popular, IMHO)

However, I'd like to do more than a few commands. Most of the examples in
samples.txt do not work (parsing error), Most of the examples in the slides
work, but are too basic. 

I understand that Needle is in early development stage, but is it too much to
ask for a list of the commands and their basic syntax? And some examples that
work? and some examples that "will" work "soon"?

BTW, all sources ask to read the file called LICENSE, but I can't find it in
the cvs.

Although I'm not too good in ocaml, I'm willing to contribute to Needle. I
think I read somewhere that you wanted to rewrite Needle in C: can you explain
why? 

Thanks,
Eric Gaudet

PS: for those trying to compile the cvs module:
<<
touch .depend
make depend
touch simplify.ml
make
>>
(I want to sumbit a bug feed-back for that, but savannah does not like my
web browser (dillo))
