Does it really offer that kind of interoprability? According to my reading of annex E it does not. But given that no-one else has implemented it yet, there does appear to be time to create a standard such that it will work across compilers. Is this a possiblity? If future vendors use GLADE as a base, it doesn't seem like it would be too tough to accomplish. -- T.E.D. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
