Slice translators to several languages

 Ice, the Internet Communications Engine, is a middleware for the
 practical programmer developed by ZeroC Inc. A high-performance
 Internet communications platform, Ice includes a wealth of layered
 services and plug-ins.
 .
 Ice is built on concepts which will be familiar to CORBA programmers,
 and supports a wide variety of programming languages and runtime
 platforms. Slice is the interface description language used in Ice.
 .
 This package contains all the Slice translators (slice2cpp, slice2py,
 slice2cs, slice2java, slice2vb, slice2rb, slice2freeze,
 slice2freezej, slice2docbook, and slice2html). You will find further
 information in the ZeroC home page (http://www.zeroc.com/ice.html)
 and in the non-free package zeroc-ice-manual.
