[Ace-users] [tao-users] Upgrading from TAO 1.2a to 1.4a - general question

We did migrate one of our customers last year from 1.1a to the doc group
release 1.5.7. We are now in the progress of upgrading them to 1.6.3. The
major work they had to do was the update of includes in their application
code. We also adviced them to use MPC to generate the GNU makefiles instead
of handcrafting them by hand. They also noticed that things got larger, but
we added several new options to ACE/TAO to disable features they didn't
needed. All these changes are available in the latest doc group versions of
ACE/TAO.
