Thanks Duncan,

Yes that was my impression. We are creating our own argv list and hence no
reason
for using asrgv[0] for -ORB arguments. Ah well.

argv[0] is traditionally the name of the program, so omniORB ignores
it. There's no particular reason why it couldn't look at argv[0] too,
but it isn't really a problem to put a dummy name in there if you are
creating your own argv list.

Cheers,

Duncan.
