Re: MS-Windows client to Linux server ?

[Peter Van Osta <pvosta unionbio-eu com>]

Michael,

Thanks for the information, I will take a look at look at omniORB. It 
would be a good opportunity to test the interconnectivity between a 
server and a client, not only built with ORBit and omniORB, but also the 
interconnectivity between a Linux server and a MS-Windows client.

I would like to build a ".dll" for our customers, so they don't need to 
learn about the secifics of CORBA, but only ahve to invoke the methods 
by using our API. Building a ".so" on Linux is easy ;-)

Best regards,

Peter Van Osta
