- Should the SERC translator work with *Any* builder which spits out UIL
- and not just BX?

- Very few users because it is just being released in Beta form as we speak...
- Some big pluses for not using Motif code... Look at the Motif bug lists
- for starters... Think about Ada tasking issues as a followup.
- GRAMMI is completely Ada tasking safe - no reentrancy problems and no
- blocking of application tasks...

- TeleUSE blows every other C builder on the market away, hands down.
- I`ve *SERIOUSLY* used all of them, including BX.
- TeleUSE D is a plus, not a minus. They ship the run-time source so
- you can port to any machine you desire...
- You can generate UIL from TeleUSE, similar to all other C builders.
