Abstract
A method, system and program for redefining language dependent object definitions as a neutral set of information from which object support for any language, including support between languages, is disclosed. The information is parsed and compiled to generate a bindings file which is input along with method information to the target language compiler to create an object file. The object file is thereafter link edited to create executable programs. Target languages include C, Fortran, C++, COBOL or any other compiled language whether or not the particular language has object programming support. Messages are displayed on a display to aid a user.
