Re: orbit-idl-2 ... Anyone?

[Jan Vittrup Hansen <jan vittrup-hansen dk>]

Thank you for your response,

 The reason I ended up with this attempt at IDL is the problem of not
being able to compile the ORBit2 package, as reported earlier. Here the
system bombs out as presented below. The GIOP.idl has statements much
like the one I used in the test - can you suggest how this can be if the
example I made is not proper IDL? Can you attach your version of 
src/idl/interop/GIOP.idl for me to test?

 Regards Jan...
