[kepler-users] Vergil as a GUI lib

[Katarzyna Bylec]

Dear Edward,

If you mean this document 
http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2008/EECS-2008-29.pdf - which 
I believe you did - then I must admit I just slipped through it very 
roughly, as I was focusing mainly on Verigl libs and documentation 
concerning Vergil part of the project.

Thanks for summing up the Ptolemy packages' functionality for me - I 
will go through documentation with more awareness now and get back here 
if any doubts.

Regards,
Kasia
