We're aware of ACE, in fact, and some work has been done to let us work with TAO (The ACE ORB). The library is a quite heavy, though (the problem with using TAO is that the generated libraries are _huge_), has long compile times, and, aside from TAO, does the same sort of stuff that we have Prague to do. ACE does _more_ of that sort of stuff, but we don't need more, and Prague is much lighter weight. So while we've definitely learned from ACE, it's just overkill for everything we've needed so far. -- Nathaniel -- "But suppose I am not willing to claim that.
