I have just demonstrated client and server side interoperability 
of omniORB_2.7.0 with Object Interface Systems' ORBexpress/Ada95
version 2.0.

Here is what I did:

* Rewrote eg3_impl and eg3_clt in Ada95. 
* Translated the omniORB2 supplied Naming.idl using OIS' idl2ada 
  to obtain an Ada proxy call interface for omniORB's CosNaming 
  service.
* Started omniNames and the C++ eg3_impl on a DEC AlphaStation,
  then started the Ada eg3_clt on a remote SPARCstation, passing 
  the NS IOR on the command line. eg3_clt output as expected.
* Started the Ada eg3_impl on the Sun, passing in the IOR of the
  remote name server on the Alpha. Then started the C++ eg3_clt 
  on the Alpha. Output as expected.

Hope this might be of interest,

O. Kellogg
