[omniORB] OmniORB2 Loop Problem on IBM OS/390 UNIX

[Sai-Lai Lo]

Does the examples in <top>/src/examples/echo compile and work?
In particular, can omniidl2 compiles <top>/idl/echo.idl?

omniidl2 should be able to parse your IDL file.

If it is a port problem, it may be something to do with the
the preprocessor output that the IDL compiler frontend reads.
Or it is something to do with the silly lf versis cr-lf end of line.
