Welcome to VBOrb
----------------

VBOrb is an Object Request Broker. VBOrb is written entirely in Visual Basic 5.
With VBOrb you can write CORBA Visual Basic clients and servers.
CORBA clients can call methods of remote objects and remote objects can call
methods of local objects. CORBA is an open standard in opposite of Microsoft DCOM
or COM+. CORBA is specified by the OMG (See http://www.omg.org).
VBOrb comes with an CORBA IDL to VB compiler called IDL2VB.
The compiler is written in Java.

VBOrb is free software. Some companies are using VBOrb in production areas
instead of a COM-CORBA-Brigde but VBOrb can more. Evaluate by yourself.

For documentations see the READMEs in VBOrb directories and study the
examples in the demos directory.
