This tests the methods work_pending() and perform_work() methods of
the orb.  The simple time server, instead of calling orb->run(), has
an loop in which work_pending() and perform_work() are called
explicitly.  Its usage is specified below.

This test has been adapted from code in chapter 3 of "Advanced CORBA 
Programming with C++" by Michi Henning and Steve Vinoski. Copyright 1999.

modifications to the source code have been made, with permission, by Mike

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 test uses the ACE_TRY macros, and does not need to use native 
    C++ exceptions.    Make sure to use TAO_FLAG Ge=1 to ensure that 
    CORBA::Environment variables are created in the IDL generated stubs 
    and skeletons.

    With GNU make, simply type 
                            
    % make

    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.
