[Biocorba-l] physical mapping applications and CORBA

[Michael Dickson]

We (NetGenics) never implemented the OMG work either.  I'd recently 
thought to revisit it but our current workload doesn't currently allow 
it.  If there's general interest in a project I'd be glad to supply what 
help we can.
