Actually, it's not quite so easy, as the spit-server I'm writing will
_eventually_ be written in C, and must work with any name service, not just
omniORB's.

I know it's not your (or the other ORB programmers) fault, but rather is a
lack of suitable standardization on OMG's part.  I just wish it weren't so
severe.  :-)

YAY!  At least I know they're working on the problem.

Excellent news.
