A few questions come to mind...

Can I take an existing Annex E/Glade program and recompile it
with PolyORB? (no modifications needed?)  Is there a porting guide?

Is this intended to supersede Glade?  Does it do everything
Glade could do, only better?  Is PolyORB/DSA suitable in
a "production" system where high reliability is wanted?

How does it compare with Glade in terms of speed, complexity, code size,
robustness etc?

I currently use Glade, but have been unable to fix a couple of
problems with the implementation, and there don't seem to be
any versions beyond 3.15 on the horizon.

(I know I could probably answer these questions myself in a few
hours or days of experimentation, but you guys are much better
placed to explain the pros and cons of the technologies.)

Thanks.
