Suresh,

Todd V. may wish to comment, since it's really his library. But as far
as I know, this is fine.
Just make sure you include the original license and copyright notices
that come with blitz, and add a note at the top of any blitz source
files that you have modified. Read the LICENSE file for all the details.

It would be good to see the vtext upgraded to blitz 0.7, which is the
current version. This would require little effort, since there were no
major design changes from version 0.6. I am planning to incorporate
some of the additions from vtext regarding null ranges and so forth in a
future release, since no one but me seemed to have any problems with
them. But this is
a low priority to me right now, compared to fixing up the ET system to
handle vector/matrix
stuff and incorporating the tvmet classes. I think distributing the
vtext stuff as a separate
package on top of blitz makes sense, since much of the contents are a
big departure from the "array class library" roots of blitz.

Regards, Julian C.
