Henrik,

Yes, I do write my own because normally I need it before anything is
available. A good example is GETURI.. Scott didn't have his HTTP API
available at the time something like either was needed.

Same with the JSON parser I wrote. I needed one, one wasn't available, so
I wrote one.

Or, in the case of our eRPG SDK I already had most everything in place from
books/articles/etc written on the CGI subject and liked CGIDEV2, but
thought I could do better. Not only with functionality but speed as well
as support. I feel I did.

In the case of SMTP outgoing email IBM's stuff just doesn't work with
SSL/TLS and authentication. So I wrote my own.

These were all done over the course of the last 25+ years... so yes, I do
tend to write my own because either I or a customer/client needs it and
nothing else is available. And being that I write it it allows me to
provide second to none support for the products.

I also do enjoy the challenge of writing the "guts", not just using a
product as well. It's fun seeing what I can do with RPG.

I hope that's not a bad thing. :)

I just don't have the time like I used to to be involved in every thread on
the lists. That's why when I reply most of the time it's something I hope
I can offer good advice on.

I sense that you try to do all by yourself - I try to integrate specific
open source packages into a common platform.
