MLU using clauses?

[Leonid Spektor]

 Stefka,

	This is a CLAN programs question. It belongs on chibolts <chibolts at googlegroups.com> mailing list. I am currently trying to help Yuuko to get this working. As soon as I have the final working solution I will post it on chibolts at googlegroups.com.

Leonid.
