Hi, May I suggest that instead of inventing a new interface description grammar, that an open, well established IDL is used for SOAP, XML-RPC, etc. ISO/IEC 14750 has been a standard for about 2 years now, is implemented in large number of commercially supported products, is used as a language independent interface for testing, is the CORBA IDL and is easily mapped into the DCE RPC IDL (a demonstration it can support a full RPC in addition to OO). Sorry, but I must have missed James message last month. Best regards, - Henry Lowe ---------------------------------------------------- At 09:37 PM 07/07/2000 -0400, Joe Lapp wrote: >Aw, come on.
