Hi Bjoern, thanks for the quick reply. I actually following the BID
tutorial in a way to omit the L4 IPC syscall bindings and all :) looks
like I don't have any choice here, do I? I'll appreciate it. Thanks
though ;)


Lucille.

Of course you can skip the IDL part completely. Have a look at the 
documentation of the L4 IPC syscall bindings 
(http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/l4env/doc/html/l4sys-l4v2/index.html) and 
or at the L4v2 reference manual 
(http://i30www.ira.uka.de/research/documents/l4ka/Ln-86-21.pdf) to learn

about how to implement a server without IDL.
