Each directory contains one of the major code examples of the corresponding
chapter.

We have not provided Makefiles and a build environment simply because
there are not enough ORBs with a POA around yet to make this feasible.

You will almost certainly hit minor glitches with include file names.

Another potential problem is the version of the iostream library supported
by your compiler. The code here uses the old iostream library. If your
compiler requires use of the new ISO/IEC library, you will have to replace
occurences of "#include <iostream.h>" with "#include <iostream>" and
use the std:: qualifier for I/O operations. (The easiest way to deal with
this is probably to add a "using namespace ::std" directive to the
code somewhere. (Similar comments apply to uses of the fstream and strstream
classes.)

It is also likely that you will encounter some compiler incompatibilities.
If you do and update the source to work for your compiler, please drop
us a note at corba@awl.com. Over time, we hope that with your help,
we can turn the code into something that will work everywhere.

If you find bugs, we'd appreciate it if you'd let us know.
