Colleague,
<br>
<br>
I am pleased to announce the availability of Flower 0.5. Today I have
released version 0.5 of Flower under the Open Software License version
3.0 (an Open Source license). You can find it at my web site, <a

<br>
<br>
Flower is a new kind of <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>user programmable web service<span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>, especially well suited for
applications which process, store, and query XML data sets. Clients of
a flower web service interactively modify and extend the code the
server runs. This is the ordinary way to build new flower
applications. Flower is a true <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>web operating system<span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i> in the sense that it forms a
self-contained, web-addressable computing environment.
<br>
<br>
Regards,
<br>
Thomas ("-t") Lord
