Sorry to be cynical here, but there are a lot of people on this list
and
others that have requested other critical technologies from NeXT but
have gone unheard/unsatisfied. Objective-C EOF is the first that comes
to mind. NetGrazer is another.
NetGrazer? Never heard of it. (NeXT user since 1992). You don't
mean NewsGrazer, Jayson Adams' Usenet app? That wasn't
an Apple thing.
Anyway, as far as PDO is concerned, I would think that
in this day and age, it might be better to go with an
XML-RPC or SOAP implementation. Much less overhead,
no need for the pseudo-Mach messaging layer. Possibly
more secure, and you'd be less likely to have firewall
issues. Lots of tools and code available, on a variety
of platforms and languages, including Microsoft's own.
