An IIOP interface for Clean
=========================== (accessing CORBA servers from Clean applications)

Verion 0.3
Linux edition

This is the first public distribution of my Clean/IIOP(CORBA) interface tool.

It provides a restricted, but useful subset of IIOP protocol access on the
client side. This tools builds on a C language ORB, called ORBit, and the
htoclean tool developed for connecting C language code with Clean applications.

Currently only Linux (and compatible POSIX-conform operating environments) 
are supported, but I will look at if it is possible to use it with Windows
[although this tool itself can be used on every ANSI C compilers, the ORB
used is for POSIX-conform operating systems; if you have a CORBA conform
ORB that can be linked to Clean then you won't have any problems,
for those who doesn't have such, I'll see what can be done].

To compile it, setup the neccessary additional software (Clean compiler, htoclean, ORBit),
and execute the script called compile_it in each directory (currently there
aren't makefiles). [Adjust the PATH's where neccessary to your installation.]

After having run the first HelloWorld application successfully, you can do
anything with it ....

A documentation can be found in the directory Clean_IIOP/doc.
