Exactly. And,many companies wouldn't even hear me out untill I said it
provided a way to include C and C++ source files.
You won't see me porting every single C/C++ based API to U4IA++ by hand.

Yeah but I have to pay for all the C/C++ compilers included with it.
I will have a lite version for about a 100 bucks aswell,wich only supports 3
platforms instead of 70.

I agree.
Also,DLL's,shared libraries and even executables can be converted into
classes,and you can access there functionality as a regular Object even
accross network boundaries.

Hehe Pete,I have to say that you will be pleased to hear that U4IA++
supports Inline Assembly :)
