Ignore MICO and Combat/C++. All you need is Combat/Tcl and idl2tcl.zip.
And you need [incr Tcl], which is a great Tcl extension for
object-oriented development in Tcl anyway. You'll find the links on the
Combat homepage. It is also worthwhile to download the demo application
for a start.

The most useful file is combat.n - i.e. the man page.

Once you are familiar with the concepts you can write CORBA/Tcl
applications in a fraction of time compared to C++. And there is also a
big potential of re-usability. The big disadvantage is the limited
performance compared to a C++ program, due to the nature of a scripting
language it is more suitable for quick prototyping. 

But perhaps we are getting slightly off topic here...
