hi cimarron!

do you plan to implement iiop on your own without using any
external library?
Another project i found interesting while browsing corba resources is
http://corbaweb.lifl.fr/CorbaScript/

i am very interested in the design concepts for that project and
would to stay in contact with you regarding this.

regards
stefan
