Hi Paolo,

thanks for your both replies. At this point I only looked for guidance
of doing the right thing.

So my plan right now:
        - Test the new class you posted
        - Add stdint.h types to cint.h enum and code
        - Add these to CObject.st
        - Attempt to add bitfields
        - Maybe start on the CPP/C Parser and see if what is missing to
          parse our header files.

does this make sense? I know it is not a lot, the two problems I have
are time and still not being a smalltalk expert.

thanks
        z.
