[ace-users] Regarding ACE Activate method.

Thanks very much for your email.  Please make sure to send all questions
related to ACE to the appropriate mailing list or newsgroup, rather than
to me directly since I travel frequently and often don't have ready
access to email.  See

http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/ACE-mail.html

for more info on how to access these resources.

In addition, to ensure that we have proper version/platform/compiler
information, please make sure you fill out the appropriate problem
report form (PRF), which is in

$ACE_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM
$TAO_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM

or in

$ACE_ROOT/BUG-REPORT-FORM
$TAO_ROOT/BUG-REPORT-FORM

in older versions of ACE, TAO, CIAO, and DAnCE.  Make sure to include
this information when asking any questions since otherwise we have to
"guess" what version/platform/compiler/options you've using, which is
very error-prone and slows down our responsiveness.  If you don't use
the PRF, therefore, it is less likely that someone from the core
developer team will be able to answer your question.  Naturally, we
encourage and appreciate other members of the ACE, TAO, CIAO, and
DAnCE user community who can respond to questions that they have the
answers to.

If you need more "predictable" help or need help for ACE please see

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

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

Thanks,

        Doug
