It defines the object-oriented Interface Definition Language (IDL), mappings to a variety of languages like C, C++ and Smalltalk, and an infrastructure to allow functions calls to be distributed. Its OO RPC. The ILU package which is available for debian provides a similar environment. I'm not sure if there is a true CORBA product for Linux. I don't know how the X consortium got involved with this. --- Jean Pierre -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Interviews...
Yes indeed! Fresco is the replacement for interviews. The development is sponsored by the X consortium. It breaks new ground by providing distributed graphics using the CORBA model. I've compiled and run the Fresco96 release successfully on my debian system. Once I find some time, I plan on producing a debian package. --- Jean Pierre On Fri, 3 Jan 1997, jyan-min fang wrote: > > Isn't interview being replaced by Fresco?

The people who produced Interviews quit supporting it a while back (a few years ago). It's written in really gnarly C++, and g++-2.6.3 (and newer) won't compile it. Someone supposedly ported it to 2.7.0 - I had no luck when I messed with it, though. (I wasn't willing to put much time in it - I already had produced the package I posted about) Anyways, I took the BINARIES from the Slackware "iv" disks (version 2.0 of Slackware or something like ), wrote a couple of control files, and made a Debian package which I'm using quite successfully. If this would be of value to anyone, I'm willing to give you what I have. (But not support it full time or anything like that.)

If so, I will look into uploading it somewhere. I am in a similar situation with the MCA Debian 1.2 rescue floppies. There is really no point in maintaining these as a package since the new 2.1 kernels are including support and most likely the next Debian won't need them. All I want is to upload them somewhere on the Debian site where people that want them can get them. This won't get done in the near future if the only way for me to do it is to go through the whole process of becoming a Debian developer and then orphaning the MCA rescue disks -- I can't spare the time. There should be a simple way for people to make available halfway complete or "one shot" debian packages. (You can make developer status necessary to get into the normal distribution directories if you are worried about nobody wanting to sign on and just accumulating tons of peicemeal packages, but the quick-and-dirty area should exist) P.S.

Isn't interview being replaced by Fresco? I remember seeing a Fresco package for linux somewhere. On Fri, 3 Jan 1997, Dale Martin wrote: > Hello.

Interviews...
Hello. When writing papers, I have always used "idraw" to make my figures - I like it alot more than "xfig" for various reasons. Anyways, Interviews has been largely unsupported for the last year or two, so I took one of my trusty old Slackware CDs and made an interviews package. Note that the binaries (and libraries) are a.out - they're from an ANCIENT Slackware, as I said. Also, this package doesn't really support the Linux Filesystem standard at all - same reason as previously mentioned. I have no desire to do anything other than the most minimal support for this package, but I was curious if anyone else would be interested in it. If so, I will look into uploading it somewhere.
