Does it matter ? they all support the CORBA 2.x spec, and a standard range
of corba facilities and services. Orbit is as good as any, and it costs a
whole lot less cash (man hours), than any random other.

no corba means no sensible distibuted objects, i am pretty sure there will
be a corba-a-like interface, beacuse amiga are supporting many programming
languages, and will need to interact with many platforms.

no point really (i am sure this is nearly dead),.. the heading is getting
impressive anyway.
