// A simple class which is responsible for translating Fire PDUs into
// portal messages and back.
//
// This is meant as an example. None of the PDUs are translated in any
// meaningful way. Rather this example is meant to show how to send Interactions
// through the data exchange. Though VR-Link is required to link, only the utility
// librarys (vlutil, mtl, and matrix) are required. The protocol dependent
// libraries (vl5, vlHLA13 and vlHLA1516) are not required by the data exchange.
// The protocol libraries are useful for this example for the DIS connection.
