Latest Version
The current version of iom can be found at

System Configuration
Although IOM is written in C/C++, to use IOM in a application, a Java Runtime Environment is required.
In order to compile IOM, a C/C++ compiler (on Windows MSVC 6; on Linux GCC 3.2.3) is required.
To test IOM, python and a diff utility is required.
To recreate the distribution zip-file, the build tool ant is required. Download it from http://ant.apache.org and install it as documented there.

Installation
In order to install IOM, extract the ZIP file into a new directory.

How to compile it on Windows using Microsoft Visual C++?
To build IOM from the source distribution (using MSVC), you will need to open the workspace containing the project. 
The workspace containing the IOM project file and all other samples is in:
 iom\projects\win32\vc6\iom.dsw
Once you are inside MSVC, you need to build the project marked iom.
If you are building your application, you may want to add the IOM project inside your applications's workspace.
You need to pick up:
 iom\projects\win32\vc6\iom\iom.dsp
You must make sure that you are linking your application with the iom.lib library and also make sure that the associated DLL (xerces_c), the INTERLIS-Compiler (ili2c) and the JAVA virtual machine (java) is somewhere in your path.
