Hrvoje> Oscar, what's the current status of your API? Please see my other post. It's not that I insist on the -internal suffix. If we want to have -1 suffixes instead or whatever it's fine with me. What's actually important is that the API is designed in two layers: - a low-level layer implemented in C which is to be kept as small as possible and provides basic wrappers around the LDAP C API - a higher-level layer written in Lisp which provides functions to access LDAP. This higher-level layer should be the preferred (not exclusive) way for package programmers to use LDAP. Therefore those functions should be safe, efficient and general enough for most programmers to use This design has been discussed a while ago and has even been presented at the m17n99 conference. There has been no change in philosophy since then. Oscar
