That's still a possibility, although unlikely ...

At this point, the integration is on hold, possibly permanently.  Since I=
 must
implement a COM interface, there's no reason the BCB app cannot use it!
Therefore, there would be no need to implement the CORBA client =
capability.

The big issue is whether any 3rd party COM-CORBA bridge supports my =
environment
...  omniORB server on one system (ETS-Kernel) & COM client on another =
system
(Win95 or NT), with ALL of the bridge going on the client system.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to get omniORB running under ETS-Kernel.  So far =
I've got
it building ok & I'm trying to handle its need for a configuration file =
&/or
registry for configuration information.
