Interface Definition Language. In our particular case, we use OMG CORBA IDL (Object Management Group Common Object Request Brokering Architecture) as CORBA is the basis of our IPC (Inter-Process Communicaton). Does that make things clearer? :-) Basically they're language-independent header files that define an interface for talking to the addressbook. They live in /usr/share/idl. -- Peter Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Why should I have to change my name?
