Thank you for this really informing mail. Pardon my "query flood" but I'm
coming up with new questions by the time I'm growing my vision on olsrd.

Did I get this right? : There is an already developed API for C(with
connection and data exchange methods) and I can develop a mesh network
application on C easily, but first I have to implement the interface of
olsrd to make it communicate with and run on windows mobile.
Or are you saying that I have to implement them IF I wanna work on C# ?

Kadir
ps: I'm pushing the "windows mobile" thing because my application must
cooperate with a C# based app, it's my engineering project. I can program on
C, though.
