Libraries implementing a persistence framework for ZeroC Ice

 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.
 .
 Freeze is the persistence framework included in Ice. This package
 installs the freeze libraries. 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.
