Thanks for that.  I'll take a look.  I have a new question about the C# 
output:

When a defined type has a float, the C# structure uses object instead of 
double to store it (see "generic type" below).  Is there a way to get 
the compiler to use double directly, so that the runtime does not have 
to box/unbox from object?

:- type myFloat ---> myFloat(float).

C# output:

public class MyFloat_0
   {
     public /* generic_type */ object F1;

     public MyFloat_0(
       /* generic_type */ object F1)
     {
       {
         this.F1 = F1;
       }
     }
   }

Thank you,
- Jeff
