Re: IIOP

Corba-interested chaps:

Corba seems to be pretty important in industry, although what
I've seen of it seems like it makes life much more complex than
need be. Not that I've actually done anything with it.

The SuSE 6.2 linux has a few corba commands:

idl (1)              - MICO IDL tool
imr (1)              - MICO implementation repository tool
ird (8)              - MICO interface repository server
micod (8)            - MICO object adapter daemon
micorc (5)           - MICO configuration file format
nsadmin (1)          - MICO naming service administration tool
nsd (8)              - MICO name service server

It seems that "mico" is a linux implementation of corba.
The KDE software Koffice uses it, apparently.

The K office documentation says:

==============================================================
Koffice is an eager project concerned with the creation of a free office 
suite for KDE. It contains a word processor, a presentation program, 
a spreadsheet and
much more. All programs work nicely together using "CORBA". 
==============================================================

Looks like corba could bit by bit come in to the linux world.

Cheerio,
