Hi there,

That's interesting... are you targetting a specific application?
You could of course reimplement GPPSO using the API from the ESModule
package, but it would be a lot easier to reuse the original classes...
which I havent released yet =)
But I could revise them and make them public, say, around next week.

Well, support for that module is kind of discontinued at the moment. But
as noted above, it is not necessary to actually load the MAES module to
use GPPSO in principle. The GPPSO implementation is realized within the
GO module and just uses the API of the MAES module.

Best regards,
 Marcel
