Hello Airat,

About following point.

>>   2. About the class dictionary. Why not use proven object technologies as
>> CORBA or COM

First, when I developped this back in 1991, CORBA and COM were not used
widely. Those technologies were not considered to be a standard yet.
Second, Cint dictionary can include almost all information you can express
in C++ header. While CORBA and COM do not have such capability. Sinse the
purpose of Cint dictionary is to link arbitrary C++ libraries with C++
interpreter, CORBA and COM are not good choices here.

Thank you
Masaharu GOt0
