Alvin, et al, Please don't feel left behind on this one; we don't have many resources dedicated to education. This is another TO DO that was discussed at CORBAmed last week. We recognized the need for more channels to help folks know about and use CORBAmed common service interface specifications. We resolved to do some things, as our meager resources allow, to rectify that. One is moderated discussion groups at the CORBAmed site. Another is a Quick Start Tool Kit to assist developers such as yourselves to get started establishing interoperability over a Common Object Request Broker Architecture and employing common services. I don't know how long it will take us to get these things done, but we'll keep you posted. Regards, Scott Scott M.
