[lift-devel] Re: lift -- small issue (copy-stream undefined)

[Gary King]

Hi Tony,

You were completely correct; LIFT lost track of copy-stream. I've  
updated the website and repository now and all should be well (please  
let me know if that's not the case and _thanks_ for noticing the  
problem).

On the topic of general equality (how similar is _enough_!), I've got  
a few ideas but nothing too deep or profound. I did get git working  
and I'll try to look over the code you have sometime next week.
