This works NOW, I mean, it already works! Don't ask :-) Orbit alrady
handled it, and all we needed was the whitespace fix you
submitted. (Interesting thing was the IORs had _no_ whitespace, and I
checked for it specifically.. was it something you did internally or just
black magic?)

Really, all you need to do is specify the IOR through orbitrc, and you'll
get back a refernce when you resolve "NameService". You have to load_idl
/usr/.../share/idl/name_service.idl to get the class and structure
definitions. I can explain more verbosely; perhaps I'll include it in the
doc file, which I'm reworking now that I know a bit more.

One that that _doesn't_ work is specifing the IOR through the commandline,
which would be excellent. Have you ever tried specifying commandline args
through orbit-python? I'll test this further today.

Take care,
