Mozart development

[Robert Ritchey]

I agree with something that Torsten said earlier. Some simple, up to date,
tutorials would be nice. A great problem with the ones that are available is
that some functions do not seem to work with the latest version of oz, while
others seem to be rather difficult unless you are already familiar with oz
or a similar language. (But 'Oz for Dummies' is a bit extreme.)
