Exactly. >We're (or I am) asking for examples of that in the main docs. I think if we create them it would be much easier for us to ask someone to include a link and then everyone will be happy. :-) Of course I am just getting into undertanding Ocaml, so I may provide some semi-trivial to start and then as I advance I can produce better examples. Also a lot of the examples are school/math theory oriented (factorial, fibonaci, etc...) instead of simple examples which anyone could understand even if they have little/no mathematical background. francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate
