[gme-users] invoking interpreters

[Joe Porter]

It looks like static linking is the only real issue.  A "normal" UDM
interpreter interacts with GME to process mga files via GME's COM
interface.  UDM hides most of the details behind the scenes so you don't
have to do all of the COM setup, transaction management, and so forth.  The
UDM/GME glue code created by the Udm interpreter wizard has a lot of the
details if you want to take them apart and manage all of that yourself.

Now - the question for the list - how hard is it to get a
statically-linkable version of the UDM libraries (or is it even possible)?
