                                                What is omniORB2 ?

                                       omniORB2 is a robust,
                                       high-performance CORBA 2 ORB,
                                       developed by us. We have decided to
                                       make omniORB2 freely available.
                                       Here's why.

                                       omniORB2 is an Object Request Broker
                                       (ORB) which implements specification
                                       2.0 of the Common Object Request
                                       Broker Architecture (CORBA). It is
                                       our second generation ORB (hence the
                                       name 'omniORB two'). The initial
                                       goal was to produce a standard
                                       conforming ORB that can deliver the
                                       performance required by the
                                       applications developed in-house. It
                                       has been deployed for lab-wide use
                                       since Mar 1997. In May 1997, the ORB
                                       was released externally as free
                                       software under the GNU Public
                                       Licences. The latest release- 2.7.0-
                                       is the fifth public release of the
                                       software.

                                       See a summary of technical details
                                       of omniORB2. It supports the C++
                                       language binding; is fully
                                       multithreaded; uses IIOP as the
                                       native transport; and comes complete
                                       with a COS Naming Service.

                                       There are some performance
                                       measurements. It's pretty quick,
                                       possibly the fastest CORBA 2
                                       compliant ORB around.

                                       To keep up to date with the latest
                                       information on omniORB, and to

                                       with developers around the world,
