I work in avionics but not in any safety related work just now. In our developments such things as standard Directory & Socket packages (and a few others queues, lists etc) would be a great boon. Has any progress/agreement been made on the work to generate a 'standard' Directory package? Standard "Interfaces.Java" & "Interfaces.CPP" would be _very_ usefull too.
