Hi Eric,

I think on the next week, I will be able grant to  you and Totte
Access to our CVS, PUBLIC and PROTECTED parts.

Lynn, I think we need do this under NDA for Eric and Totte.
As I have told, I am interested in comments of these very experienced C++
developers on our design model, on this phase.


----------------
Eric, I think we will get hat you want, not in terms of callbacks,
But in terms C++ interface class.

You will see in sources.
