[erlang-bugs] Does 'ic' (the CORBA IDL compiler) support recursive types?

[Niclas Eklund]

Hello!

The external ORB I know have been used together with Orber is:

 * JacORB
 * TAO
 * Visibroker
 * Orbix
 * JavaIDL

There are most likely even more since that piece of information is usually
left out when people post a question via erlang.org. See also
http://www.puder.org/corba/matrix/ and
http://www.omg.org/technology/corba/corbadownloads.htm
