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.
