[Ace-users] [tao-users] How to Build ACE+TAO with Visual Studio 6

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi,

> I am a new user of TAO.

Great, welcome!  Since you're using OCI's version of TAO I recommend
sending your questions to taosupport at ociweb.com since they provide
excellent commercial support for their releases of TAO.  Naturally, we
encourage and appreciate other members of the ACE+TAO user community who
can respond to questions about the OCI release if they have the answers.

You may also want to consider upgrading to ACE+TAO+CIAO x.6 (i.e., ACE
5.6, TAO 1.6, and CIAO 0.6), which you can download from

http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu

under the heading: "Latest Beta Kit".

The DOC groups at Washington University, UC Irvine, and Vanderbilt
University only provide "best effort" support for non-sponsors for the
latest release, as described in

http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/DOC_ROOT/ACE/docs/ACE-bug-process.html

Thus, if you need more "predictable" help for earlier versions of
ACE+TAO, I recommend that you check out

http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/support.html

for a list of companies that will provide you with ACE+TAO commercial
support.

Thanks,

        Doug
