Hi Aik-Siong Koh,


a> I want to create an addon using Squeak for a Computer Aided Design (CAD)
a> software in Windows. That means that the CAD will control Squeak and

very curious: which CAD? What do you plan to do? I'm in road design.

a> Any other ideas would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance.

Long term I plan to connect to ACAD, ICAD, ACAD LT+LTE via writing
LISP in Squeak and make the CAD load the Lisp.

With DLL imho you have to do some work in every CAD you support with
every release.

I have no good idea of how to access Squeak from Lisp. First access
would just be to start Squeak from Lisp. Right now I have no better
idea than let Lisp write a file which Squeak polls for.

Com imho is not present in every CAD and also differs too much.
And I don't want to close the door to non M$ OS.

Any thoughts welcome!

Cheers,


Herbert                            mailto:herbertkoenig at gmx.net
