reference encoding?

[Frank Rehberger <Frank Rehberger web de>]

All,
please, could someone tell me how to encode Object-References, you know
"IOR:xcxxxx".
The CORBA.book just describes what is encoded inside, but not how to
encode it. Is this encoding ORB dependend?

Assuming I would have 
Byte-Order: (octet)
Host: seq<octet>
Port : short
ObjKey : seq<octet>
.....

A paper describing the algorithm would be fine, too.

cu, Frank
