Using the Melange Interface Generator
*************************************

The Melange interface generator provides a mechanism for
providing access to native C code. It is modeled upon Apple
Computer's Creole, and shares Creole's goals of automatically
providing full support for a foreign interface based upon existing
interface descriptions. It also, like Creole, provides mechanisms for
explicitly adapting these interfaces to provide a greater match
between C and Dylan data models.

Melange, however, differs from Creole in a number of
significant ways. This document, therefore, provides a gentle
introduction to Melange without attempting to build upon any existing
descriptions of Creole.
