[ace-users] checking application for memory leaks

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi Kim,

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

Make sure that you always include the ACE header files before any other header files.
