[erlang-questions] Erlang & .NET

[Serge Aleynikov]

Actually this doesn't address the problem I stated, as otp.net project 
already has functions dealing with encoding/decoding terms to/from 
external binary format (similar to what erlocaml does).

What I need is a .NET function with this signature:

	string_to_eterm(string()) -> term()

	I.e. the .NET code analogous to:
	{ok, Tokens} = erl_scan:string(Str),
	{ok, Term}   = erl_parse:parse_term(Tokens),
	Term.

I understand that writing an Erlang term parser is probably easier in 
OCaml / F# than in .NET, but before spending time on writing one, I 
figured I'd first ask the mailing list...
