Ah OK!, sure. But SOPE also has (and always had) EOControl (control layer of EOF 2) which provides and uses the EOQualifier API :-) sope-appserver has no GDL1 dependencies (as far as I'm aware).

Which reminds me of why adding GDL2 might not trivial, you would need to check/fix incompatibilities between GDL2 EOControl and SOPE EOControl.

Quite some time (1 1/2 years?) ago I ported SOPE to also be usable with Mulle EOF (http://oswald.codeon.de/project-titmouse/), which is a full binary compatible EOF clone (quite impressive IMO). If GDL2 is really Apple EOF API compatible, then using the Mulle EOF compile options will definitely work for this purpose.
