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). > Has anyone had any experience with Orbix/Ada? Does it work? Is it > usable? Are there any plans to catch up with CORBA 2.0? Yes. Yes. Yes. Been there done that (a while ago...) /Jon -- Jon Anthony OMI, Belmont, MA 02178 617.484.3383 "Nightmares - Ha!
