I believe RR Softwaer is considering also supporting the Intermetrics binding if they have the time but they are not funded to do so.

Actually RR Software has produced it's own thin binding several years ago. They are in the progress of producing a thick binding with a GUI builder. Sundog.Software@Msn.FullFeed.Com
