Re: Objective C - C++ interface

[Vladimir Jojic]

Hi all,

Glen mentioned in a private e-mail that Hive members are considering using
Xerox's ILU with Swarm.  Could Marcus or somebody from Hive team, describe
their plans in more detail?

I am willing to help out with creating mapping from IDL/ISL to Objective-C
... 

Regards
Vladimir
