-<P>Following is an example on how to create a project for a static library for TAO.
-Other projects (such as orbsvcs) should be just as easy to create static libraries
-for.  Just create a new project and copy the files and some of the settings from the 
-DLL project. </P>

+<P>TAO, orbsvcs, TAO_IDL, and the Simple Test all have extra project files 
+for static library builds.  TAOACE_static.dsw contains all these projects,

+libraries in a project, make sure to the following settings are used in
