If so, I'd like pointers to literature and >implementations. The Arjuna stub generator (tatsu), deals with this. If you want to read about it (and/or get the source), try ftp-ing to arjuna.ncl.ac.uk and look in pub/Arjuna/PR3.0 and pub/Arjuna/Docs. Or, you can try http://arjuna.ncl.ac.uk/ All the best, Mark. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SENDER : Mark Little, PHONE : +44 91 222 8066, FAX : +44 91 222 8232 Arjuna Project, Distributed Systems Research.
