Maarten uses it in Rugby in the creation of stubs for remote invocation, but he would have to contrast how it might be done without BIND as I haven't thought about it in detail. I use bind in my FSM dialect. There, you define action blocks that are triggered when the FSM is sent events. A single FSM can act like a shared "engine", with BIND used to execute the actions in the proper context--usually the one that sent the event, but could be any context you want. -- Gregg -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
