Dear German,

thanks for your message.  I am certainly interested in the current
development version.  What I would like to avoid is my group and
myself having to maintain another version of filib++.  It is for this
reason that it is important to have a web site where updated versions
can be retrieved quickly and a mailing list so that the users can
be kept up to date.  Our first need is an extension of the library
to deal with complex numbers.  A good starting point would seem
to be CoStLy (http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~Markus.Neher/CoStLy.html).
Do you plan to develop such an extension in the immediate future?
All the best

      Roberto
