What is CORBA? Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is defined by a the Object Management Group. It defines the object-oriented Interface Definition Language (IDL), mappings to a variety of languages like C, C++ and Smalltalk, and an infrastructure to allow functions calls to be distributed. Its OO RPC. The ILU package which is available for debian provides a similar environment. I'm not sure if there is a true CORBA product for Linux. I don't know how the X consortium got involved with this. --- Jean Pierre -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
