Goldie v0.3 Release (Parser Library and Tools)

[Andrej Mitrovic]

Sweet!

I've never heard of GOLD before (I must live in a cave or something..). Thanks for the link to that Bill Baxter presentation btw.

Maybe you should to get your engine featured on the GOLD website  http://www.devincook.com/goldparser/engine/d/index.htm ?
