Anyone successfully build omniORB-2.2 on Windows NT 4.0 with VC++ 4.2?

[Bing Zhang]

Hi Joachim,

Thanks again for the help. For the eg2_impl, I remove the quote and now
it works. For the eg3_impl, I found my problem: I used the text editor
Notepad to edit the file omniORB.cfg in Windows NT and  it was
automatically saved as omniORB.cfg.txt. This is hard to see in the file
explorer. I detected this on dos command line and renamed it to
omniORB.cfg. Now it works. The regedit did not work for me. When I do
it, it complains that "unkonw field ()" error. Anyway I am comfortable
with the OMNIORB_CFG and omniORB.cfg approach.
