The product consists of

 1. an IDL compiler written in Java which can currently produce
    both client and server stubs for the 'C', C++, Java & Perl programming languages.

 2. ORB source in C, C++, Perl & Java

 3. Libraries, header files, JAR files and Perl modules to compile and link your own
    CORBA clients and servers.

This product requires at the very minimum a Java 1.1 virtual machine. For Perl
you will require Perl version 5.005 or above. For C/C++ you need a C/C++ compiler.
JDK 1.2 was used to build the IDL compiler and GNU C/C++ was used to build and 
test the 'C' and C++ mapping. 

This product will also operate with the Borland C++ and Visual C++ compilers 
for Windows 95/98/NT.

The product has also been tested on Solaris.
