[m-users.] Open sourced Mission Critical IT code

[Delmas Buckley]

Paul,

I had the following conversation with Ludovic Langevine relating to the BDD
module bdd_alt.m. The bottom line is that Mission Critical IT has agreed to
release the missing "cache" module. Sorry about the awkward presentation
below.

Hello,

Recently Mercury source files for BDD operations were posted on the Mercury
User distribution. One of the BDD modules, bdd_alt.m, imports a module
named "cache", at line 74. But the standard distribution of Mercury appears
not to include the module "cache". Can you provide a copy of "cache" that
itself relies only upon standard Mercury modules/libraries? Or, in the
alternative, direct us to a source of such module.

If you are able to do so, it would be very much appreciated, as I would
like to evaluate the usefulness of the alternative BDD implementation.

Best regards,
Robert Buckley

Hi Robert,
I have to check with Mission Critical IT team first, but the caching module
is definitely a useful piece of code.
I come back to you.

Cheers,
Ludovic

Hi Robert,
We're going to distribute the "cache" module as well.
Should you have any further question about the BDD modules, feel free to
contact me.

Best regards,
Ludovic
