Re: [HACKERS] CORBA STATUS

Whomever does this implementation, or works on this, needs to bear in mind
that there are several different ORBs out there, and the code should be
written in such a way that *I* can use MICO, Oleg here can use Fnorb,
someone  else can use ORBit, etc...I personally don't want to have to go
ut and grab <INSERT ORB of the Day here> just so that I can use CORBA,
when I already have Mico installed for other software...
