I mentioned a little about this in an earlier thread 'Internet 
Streaming Data'.  I have been working on converting the Open 
Transport headers.  There are over 400k in text in the headers I have 
so it could take a little while.

The big problem with Open Transport is that some required code is in 
Apple object files.  FB^3 can't directly add these object files to a 
project.  What I did was create a shared library from those object 
files so we could use them.

While I haven't finished the OT headers, I have made a small OT 
application using the shared library.  It's a very simple sample 
application but it works.  I also can't be sure if there will be any 
limitations to using FB^3 and OT in this way.

Let me know if you want the shared library.  An application can be 
made even without the headers.  I would just require converting over 
those Toolbox functions and structures that you might need.
