It's another CORBA 2 compliant ORB for C++, and while it's not GPL'ed like omniORB (which is, IMHO, a good thing :), it is freely available for non-commercial use, and has source code. Unfortunately, it's not multithreaded yet, but will be soon. BTW, the author of OmniBroker seems very interested in promoting and maintaining it. It's available at: http://www.ooc.com/ BTW, I was looking for a free ORB to port to BeOS, which is why I was very interested to see the announcement of omniORB. Having two strong products is always better than being stuck with one, and thanks to the miracle of CORBA, omniORB and OmniBroker should be 100% interoperable (if not, its a bug!). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Jake Hamby| APT Engineer at JPL, CS student at Cal Poly, and BeOS developer!| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being." - Poe
