FWIW -- the MCA package for Matlab and Octave does not use EZCA.

I certainly hope that EZCA is not abandoned, because there is a LOT of

code in interpreted languages such as IDL, Visual Basic (and Matlab?)

that depends on it. Those programs will certainly need some interface

layer between native CA and the scripting language, since they don't

directly support callbacks but do need to use CA monitors. Programs
in

those languages do not use the "chid" but rather the PV names, and

depend on the hash table and caching of chids that EZCA handles.
