Speaking of which, I was nosing around the Xanadu/Udanax site not to 
long ago and ran across a description of their Xtalk / X++ system. 
Apparently it's a subset-of-Smalltalk to subset-of-C++ compiler, just 
the ticket for Slang++.

Lots of support code has been released, but not the actual translator. 
Anyone know what the status of their "disentanglement" process is? 
Anybody think this would be useful to Squeak?

Cheers,

Colin
