+Chapter 3 example.
+______________________________________________________________________________
+This example been taken from the book "Advanced CORBA Programming with C++"
+by Michi Henning and Steve Vinoski. Copyright 1999. Addison-Wesley, Reading,
+MA. To make the examples work with TAO, some minor modifications to the
+source code have been made, with permission, by Mike Moran <mm4@cs.wustl.edu>.
+All of these changes are documented in the file CHANGES, in this directory.

+
+
+Summary:
+ This is the simple time server given in chapter 3 of the book.
+ There is a server process which holds a servant object which can return
+ the current Greenwich time, and a client process which can acess this
+ object.
+
+Building:
+ This example must be built with native C++ exceptions, and with an ACE/TAO
+ build with exceptions. Make sure to use TAO_FLAG Ge=0 to ensure
+ that CORBA::Environment variables are not created in the IDL generated
+ stubs and skeletons.
+
+ With GNU make, simply type
+
+ % make exceptions=1
+
+ to create the executable server and client
+
+server:
+ The server takes no parameters nor command line options and returns an
+ IOR to stdout. The server then waits infinitely for clients requests.
+
+client:
+ The client takes an IOR from the command line, prints out the current
+ time, and terminates.
+
+run_test.pl:
+ This is currently a UNIX only script! It starts up the server, redirecting
+ stdout to a file, then passes the file's contents to the command line of
+ the client. After the client terminates, the server is killed.
