It is supported on platforms where the C++ compiler supports a long
double with sufficient precision.

The problem you have is that you are using Windows. Visual C++ does
not support proper long doubles. It has a long double type, but it's
the same precision as double, and is therefore not suitable for CORBA
long double.

Cheers,

Duncan.
