RE: [Bug-gnucap] suggestion: xml interface for gnucap using adms

Al,

I will not attend BMAS :-(
(however feel free to discuss your new ideas
per email)

Colin McAndrew will attend - you can talk to him
to discuss general ideas (he is my supervisor.)

You said that gnucap has already a model compiler.
Do you have a document that describes the API of gnucap?

PS:
I cc'ed gnucap-devel. Is-it the good place for such discussions?
