My apologies, I should genuflect and bang my head on the floor in 
penance. What I really meant in my last post was that I do not 
wish to turn the Lua list into LuaSDL-announce.

I think someone reading my original post would have gotten a vague 
idea what the project was about. If a person is interested enough 
to probe further, then a search or two will turn up the answers. I 
thought most people have heard of SDL. Perhaps I am mistaken.

One of the worst things in education in my country is 
spoon-feeding. It is something I try to avoid. My apologies again 
if my postings have been inadequate.
