[kepler-dev] Ports

[Ilkay Altintas]

Hi,

The general data type is the most inclusive of the types.  Can you  
link your actor to display?

There's some more information on the type system conversions in the  
ptolemy documentation  (section 4.5.4: Conversions) at:  http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2008/EECS-2008-28.html
