oh, that's very nice, and makes my work significantly simpler :)
correct me if i'm wrong but that only works w/ Lua 4.0 or does it work 
w/ 5.0 ?
and if it doens't work w/ 5.0 , are you working on a port, or how hard 
would it be
to accomplish one?
i'd *REALLY* love to start out using lua 5 cause i really like the 
things it offers.
The company i work for needs a scripting lang for some apps we have and 
lua seems a perfect fit, and since we've not really started down the 
road (at the moment, all i wrote was a
some quick "proof of concept" code of binding lua to C++ using toLua ) , 
i'd like to start down the
right path so we can minimize any changes in the future  :)
anyway.. thanks for your help :)
