Bad information. Orbix supports CORBA 2.0 and Orbix for Ada uses this
version of the ORB. This is not news. It's been this way for some
time.
Secondly, OC Systems has an Ada ORB capability for DSOM.
Third, Orbix (while having problems) is probably better overall than
most other available ORBs (irrespective of Ada).

Yes. Yes. Yes. Been there done that (a while ago...)
