yes, last time I checked it (nearly 2 years ago, I see), and it worked fine;
also the valuetypes worked. I think I tested simple
valuetype-interoperability with ORBacus, but I'm not too sure about that
anymore.

It all seemed pretty decent and fast.

no idea myself.

Jason> http://www.mico.org.  rumoured to have CORBA <-> COM internetworking
Jason> and there is a demo to run when you build mico on Win32.

cool (I guess, if you're in to that sort of thing :-)
