I think we're all of the same mind on this : ) > There shouldn't be any licensing problems, and you could probably get > some help from Konrad Hinsen (the main author of MMTK), but I suspect it > would be a good deal of work to do it cleanly.

Konrad and I have been talking about this for some time, but neither of us has had enough time to look seriouly at it. You can jerry-rig a PDB file interface in a few minutes, but the potential interaction between the two programs could be much more robust (and bi-directional!). Warren
