$Id$ This directory contains a number of very simple tests, which also illustrate how to write canonical Orbix/VisiBroker/OmniORB examples in TAO using standard CORBA features rather than proprietary ORB features. The individual directories contain READMEs on how to run the following tests: . bank This directory implements the canonical VisiBroker test. . chat This directory implements an ORBacus test. . echo This directory implements the canonical omniORB test. . grid This directory implements the canonical Orbix test. . time This directory implements a simple time/date test.
