I agree, if Mach is taken out of the picture there is no reason to stick with Mach legacy like cthreads and even MIG. MIG is not a very good IDL language it's highly Mach specific (duh Mach Interface Generator) and only supports the C backend. A more widely supported ILD language (probably something close to OMG IDL) could be used to rectify the situation. Igor
