Re: [COAS-List] Use of TerminologyService in COAS

[David Forslund <dwf@acl.lanl.gov>]

I think you may have seen from my earlier email that my problem was
coiming from an old copy of NamingAuthority with the infamous space
before the " in the pragma.  However, there is a real problem because
TermionologyServices.idl has some missing definitions in it, and it
won't compile.  At least this is in the IDL in the final submission.
It is easy to fix, but I don't know what should be done about it.
It actually appears that the COAS prototype IDL only uses about a half
dozen lines from TerminologyServices.idl.

Thanks,

Dave
