[omniORB] bulk data transfer of files

[Smith, Norman]

Can you expand a little on this new portable sequence mapping? I'm
relatively new to CORBA, so any additional info would help. Also, I'm
assuming that "portable" in this discussion means ORB portability instead of
platform portability, eh?

What Steven suggested will work.  However CORBA 2.3 updates the
sequence mapping to provide a portable way to do this -- which has been
implemented in the omniORB 2.8 pre-release.
