	Thanx, Gary - I am glad I'v prompted you to provide very thorough
	explanation of some OI features. I hope you don't take my less
	knowledgable comments as an insult.

	Just two minor comments:
	
	1) I was referring to the CURRENT state of OI. I did NOT try to
	   say that this and that is impossible. I was responding
	   to a request for toolkits available TODAY. And as you admit,
	   there is still a lot to do in OI.
 
	2) My comment about C++. I was NOT talking about C versus C++.
	   (no discussion there, besides C++ availablity ...). 
	   There are many folks who want to use the user interface from
	   ADA or (yes, archaic but still widely used) FORTRAN.
           And again, I am not saying that it is impossible to interface
	   to C++ from ADA or FORTRAN - it's just not quite easy.
