Why you did this ? I know there is some header incompatibilities with the
two foundations and the compilers (at least with 2.95) but resolved these
problems it should be quite ok.

Precisely, which one ?

It does not work in the same way but to take advantage of it your EOs should

Thanks, I'll look at it in the next days.

Hmmm... we could add double makefiles (gstep/osx) for the various frameworks,
remove the circular dependencies from EOAccess/EOControl... then send patches
!!!! :-))
