Thanks for getting this together! I've been trying to get it working 
so I can work on connecting biopython with biojava and I can get 
sooooo far, but not quite all the way. The server started up with no 
problems, but then when I run the client code I get the following:

Exception in thread "main" org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE:   minor code: 
1 completed: Maybe
        at com.sun.CORBA.iiop.IIOPConnection.purge_calls(Compiled Code)
        at com.sun.CORBA.iiop.ReaderThread.run(Compiled Code)

I'm not sure why I'm getting this. It could be a platform specific 
problem--I'm currently running the Linux Blackdown Port RC4 of JDK 1.2 
under FreeBSD (using Linux compatibility libraries). So this is kind 
of hackish, but 1.2 hasn't been ported to FreeBSD yet, so it is my 
only choice. However, I'm not that experienced with Java and thought I 
would run it by everyone to see if anyone had any ideas to help me 
out...
    By the way, I just checked out biojava-live today and noticed 
during compile that another copy of biojava-live is in src/org/acedb. 
Just thought I would point that out so it doesn't cause any more 
trouble.
    Thanks again for all the excellent code!
