Hi Dave,

The .hh files for for the C++ DTS (Direct to SOM) bindings.  This method
of interacting with SOM objects was probably invented after IBM was done
with OS/2.

You can always use sc to generate any .hh file you might need.  However,
you probably don't need them.  If your code was written to use the
traditiional C++ .xih bindings, you don't need the DTS .hh files.

My guess is that this code expects to be built with the wpobject.h
provided by xworkplace.

Do you mean in makefiles?  If so, it varies.  Xworkplace uses TKBASE.=20
I've seen other code that uses TOOLKIT.

>Rather then copying the idl files to the tree,

You are absolutely correct that committing the .idl files you don't
maintain into your tree is a bad idea.

The .xih, .ih and .hh files are all build products.  In the case of .hh
files you generate, my inclination would be to write them to the same
directory where the .ih and .xih files are written.

Any .ih, .hh and .xih files that are in the repo are only there because
they were part of the initial import.  Recall that I stated:

"It is also likely that some build products were committed to the trunk.=20
If so, they should be "svn removed" from the trunk."
