I just tried catior & didn't get the results I was expecting:


Using the IOR from the client system's registry:

  catior -x 012e65812800000049444c3a6f6d672e6f72672f436f734e616d696e672
    f4e616d696e67436f6e746578743a312e30000100000000000000280000000101
    =
00000c0000003139322e3136382e302e3200393000000c000000352d399efff820f100000=
001

I got the following results:

  Invalid stringified IOR supplied.
  (Minor =3D 0)


Using the IOR from the server system's OMNIORB.CFG:
  catior -x =
018c67812800000049444c3a6f6d672e6f72672f436f734e616d696e672f4e
    616d696e67436f6e746578743a312e3000010000000000000028000000010100000
    =
c0000003139322e3136382e302e3200393000000c000000352d399efff820f100000001

I got the same results as above.



The catior commands were actually all on one line, in a batch file, =
executed
under Win95 on the client system.

I tried both IORs with & without enclosing double quotes.

I tried both with & without the Name Service & server running.

The IORs used were taken from the locations where they were specified to =
be
taken from on the client & server systems.


Any suggestions?
