  I think this is a very important point. Especially wrt "bother" --- if I
have to set up DCE to get the IDL compiler to work... (I haven't no idea
about this)
  Does it run under Win95 [if so, can we pick something else :-) ]? Mac?
  As much as I hate to say it, if there is no simple PC solution, then there is
no ubiquitious applications.

>(5) Adaquacy of expression (can it express what we need it to?)

  ... which should lead us into the next step: what do we need to express?
The BOF
