Hi Duncan,
  I found out about the pleasure of CORBA for the first time with your
omniORBPy. That said, I am thinking of my components not to be
seperate processes (OK! I won't call them servers :-) ) running all
the time. Take an ActiveX control for example. It is an in-process
component, comes to life only when a client application creates it and
consumes zero memory otherwise. Deployment is simpler than deploying a
daemon. This was what I wanted. I did not need to preserve state
across clients. I think you are pointing to something akin to IPC like
DDE. If you think CORBA can be used like an ActiveX in-process
control, please let me know how.

Thanks.
