Yeah, Cardinal has been pretty quiet for a while now. I wish I had more time to work on it. We actually had a plan to go the other direction from Ruby2C: We wanted to convert RubyC to Ruby so we could automatically convert the built-in classes like array.c, hash.c, etc to Ruby code. If we could do something like that it would be useful for metaruby as well, I suspect. Basically, we need a C parser in Racc - that's the first step anyway. There are plenty of C grammars out there, so that shouldn't be too, too hard, but then again... .....ah, but our ambitious plans haven't led to much action, unfortuneatly. I haven't had any time to commit to Cardinal since last summer. Phil
