I've released a new version of Dylanlibs (now at 1.4). It has the
wrapper I created around Curl (the network library from
http://curl.haxx.se, not the language at http://www.curl.com).

An higher level library uses lib-curl to allow retrieval of http pages
and posting to http servers. 

I've included a sample DUIM program that uses this library to send SMS
messages via http://www.mtnsms.com from Dylan. Sign up to mtnsms.com,
enter your user name and password in the DUIM window. Put in the
telephone number to SMS to, keyin the message and hit send. The
application talks to mtmsms.com via http-client, via lib-curl and
sends the message.

Another included library is a simple <money> type and some additions
to sequence-utilities.

The compiled binaries for OpenSSL and Curl are included in the Bin
directory of the distribution.

The distribution should be available shortly at:

  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=26064

Chris.
