Hi all,
Recently, I had the idea to try to bridge .NET with Octave (the Matlab clone). Instead of re-inventing the wheel, I wondered "why not try to re-use RDNZL DLL?". And it worked pretty well. Actually, RDNZL provides everything you need to bridge a C/C++ application with .NET, without having to handle the managed part yourself. It's not really bound to LISP.
To ease my work, I created a header file and import library, such that my octave module is linked with the RDNZL DLL. So I wondered if these files could not be provided in some stand-alone RDNZL.DLL package, such that it could be used by anybody. The import library only publishes C function, so you can even think of providing such a library for MinGW compiler (although I didn't try).
What do you think?
Michael.

Sounds good to me. Do I understand correctly that I'd just have to add one or two files to the C++ source code as it is now? Then you should just send them and I'll make a new release. (And maybe you should provide some text which can be added to the README file.)
BTW, note that I just returned from vacation (earlier than expected) and will be in Boston next week, so you'll probably have to wait a bit until this'll actually happen.
Cheers, Edi.
