I am a 1982 graduate of the Computer Science programme at Carleton University (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). Having specialised in Scientific and Engineering applications, I was quite naturally drawn to Oberon/F and its successor development environments. I have been developing modules in Component Pascal on my own for quite some time now and have recently created a reusable sparse matrix handling component that I hope to bring to market.

Over the years since 1982, I have been involved in a significant number of software development projects in computer graphics, military
systems software, remote sensing applications, space technology and hydrology/meteorology applications. These projects have been implemented in C, Smalltalk, FORTRAN, Delphi and Java for the most part.

I am a great believer in keeping the growth of complexity to a minimum and so fully appreciate Oberon-2 and its successors as the most elegant software development environment I know of.

Hello Lance
recently created a reusable sparse matrix handling component that I hope to bring to market
will you publish it open source?

Consider it open source. My demo application fails for more than three or four points that are specified, presumably because of numerical considerations. For the very small number of points, it does work well. This is more of a problem in numerical analysis rather than the straight sparse matrix functionality that is the purpose of this effort.
