EPI was bought by Mentor Graphics and has declared the Jeeni at its
end-of-life, making it impossible to get any resources from the
manufacturer. So, here's my plea. If anyone knows of a RDI-to-ADP (DLL
interface to TCP stream) dynamic library that can be used with the
rdi-stub utility, I'd be very interested in seeing it! If one exists,
it might have come either from EPI or possibly with ARM's development
tools.

If one were to grep through their proprietary toolchain, I'm
interested in hearing about any solib that defines the symbol
`QuerySORDI'.

Thanks for any information you can give! Cheers,
