Hmm... any chance that I might see the actual code? One thing that you
could try is to try ORBit2<==>ORBit2 for your simple foo-bar sample
IDL.

Because it is not needed anymore. BTW, what is being activated is not
the POAManager but the POA.

Not yet. The sample code that I am working on will do want you want (and
much more). I could try to look into your problem when I get back to the
office the day after tomorrow, but don't hold your breath as I am rather
pressed for time at the moment :-)
