   bind() is a vendor-specific extension. To be portable you want to
use the CORBA Name Service, which is implemented in OmniORB as
OmniNames. You can find an example of how to use the name service in
src/examples/echo/eg3* in the OmniORB source. Note that bind means
"bind this address to this name" in the CORBA name service, not "give
me a reference for this name" as it does for Visibroker (and probably
Orbix, though I haven't used it.) In the CORBA name service, the latter
is called resolve().
   If you are set up to use the name service, you probably don't need
string_to_object(). But if you do want to use it, take a look at the
source in src/examples/echo/eg2* .
