I uploaded it to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/omniBroker.tgz Thanks, Eric J. Chet -- ejc@bazzle.com ----- http://www.ooc.com/ OmniBroker is an Object Request Broker (ORB) that is compliant to the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) specification as defined in: The Common Object Request Broker: Architecture and Specification Revision 2.0, OMG Document 96-03-04 OmniBroker is free for non-commercial use. See the file LICENSE for details. Some highlights of the OmniBroker Preview Release are: - Full CORBA IDL support - Complete CORBA IDL-to-C++ mapping - Uses IIOP as native protocol - Dynamic Invocation Interface - Dynamic Skeleton Interface - Interface Repository - Peer-to-Peer communication with nested method invocations - Support for non-blocking method invocations - Support for timeouts - Seamless integration with X11 and Windows - A COS compliant Naming Service The current beta version has the following limitations: - Only persistent servers are currently supported - No multi-threaded applications Support for the GNU C++ compiler (version 2.7.2) is currently only experimental. The GNU C++ isn't fully supported yet due to the lack of a stable exception handling mechanism. On some platforms GNU C++ doesn't support exception handling at all (e.g. MIPS), while on other platforms the exception handling is still very buggy (SPARC, Intel). >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
