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 written in any language and CORBA servers can call back methods of your local objects. For instance you can write your server in Java using a JavaORB and your client in VisualBasic using VBOrb. CORBA is an open standard in opposite of Microsoft DCOM or COM+. CORBA is specified by the OMG.
VBOrb comes with an IDL to VB compiler called IDL2VB. The compiler is written in Java.
