Sadly, the rather stupid answer is that there is no standard (direct)
way to do it. An omniORB specific way is to call the NP_asString()
method. It returns a char* that you must free with
CORBA::string_free().

The C++ mapping does say that there should be stream operators to
read/write Fixeds to streams, but they are still on the todo list.

Cheers,

Duncan.
