 I want to build a Corba application wirh delphi, is possible to use OmniOrb
instead of visibroker ? (anybody make this before?)

  to clarify our situation, let me explain you the situation with more
detail:

  we have a large C/S system developed with Delphi 4 (around 150 EXEs). Now,
we are migrating it to a CBD system with a Web GUI and CORBA as the
communication paltform. Because of we are using Delphi, so far, we MUST use
Visibroker DLLs to call the ORB. Now, what we want is that the CORBA client
and server objects written in Delphi can interact each other without the
Visibroker ORB (using your OmniORB)

we think that with a wrapping DElphi DLL of the C++ DLL of OmniOrb we can
comunicate
our objects to OmniORB. Do you plan to include this pascal language to your
support in any time?.
Maybe, just provide the wrapper DLL ?.

  there is a big community of Delphi users that they are starting to write
Enterprise-scale software. And now this movement is bigger because of
Inprise's Kylix project (Delphi in Linux!!!), so we can write multiplatform
applications from our existing Win32 projects.

 have you considered this situation?.

TIA
