 //   This file contains TAO-specific idl interfaces (not part of CORBA
 //   2.3).
 //
-//   The command used to generate code from this file is:
+//   The steps to regenerate the code are as follows:
 //
-//   tao_idl -o orig -Gp -Gd -Ge 1 -Gv  \
-//       -Wb,export_macro=TAO_Export \
-//       -Wb,pre_include="ace/pre.h" \
-//       -Wb,post_include="ace/post.h" \
+//   1. Run the tao_idl compiler on the pidl file.  The command used for
+//   this is:
+//
+//   tao_idl -o orig -Ge 1
+//       -Wb,export_macro=TAO_Export
+//       -Wb,pre_include="ace/pre.h"
+//       -Wb,post_include="ace/post.h"
 //       -Wb,export_include="tao/corbafwd.h" TAO.pidl
 //
-//   after the file is generated a patch must be applied.  The patch
-//   fixes the interface repository IDs, disables the code under
-//   certain configurations, and eliminates cycles in the include
-//   dependencies.  Those changes are required because the generated
-//   code is part of the TAO library, it hardly makes any sense to
-//   change the IDL compiler to support changes that are very
-//   occasional.
+//   2. Then patch the generated code.  The patch fixes the interface
+//   repository IDs, disables the code under certain configurations,
+//   and eliminates cycles in the include dependencies.
+//
+//   Apply patches using the following commands:
+//
+//   patch < diffs/TAOC.h.diff
+//   patch < diffs/TAOC.i.diff
+//   patch < diffs/TAOC.cpp.diff
+//
+//   Note: The diffs were generated with these commands:
+//
+//   diff -wBbu orig/TAOC.h TAOC.h > diffs/TAOC.h.diff
+//   diff -wBbu orig/TAOC.i TAOC.i > diffs/TAOC.i.diff
+//   diff -wBbu orig/TAOC.cpp TAOC.cpp > diffs/TAOC.cpp.diff
