You can find here some test programs to remote control SandUhr with
the help of CORBA.  The CORBA interface is fully documented in the
file "idl/README" and in the reference section of the online help.


** Simple tests **

The following scripts perform some really simple
tests for the CORBA support.  They create a timer,
display alarm time and message, and finally set
an invalid alarm time to test the CORBA exception
support.

1. test-oaf

    This uses Gnome's object activation framework.

2. test-python

    The same, but using python.  This was tested with the python-orbit
    bindings and the OAF bindings from the bonobo-python package.

3. test-perl

    This is broken at the moment, because I did not
    find perl bindings for the OAF library.


** Advanced examples **

The files "ex-*.py" contain more examples for SandUhr's CORBA
support.  Again, these were tested with the python-orbit bindings and
the OAF bindings from the bonobo-python package.

  ex-simple1.py - Creating timer objects with CORBA
  ex-simple2.py - Customising timer objects with CORBA
  ex-email.py - Delivering the alarm by email
  ex-ior.py - Plugging in CORBA alarm actions via the IOR string
  ex-delivery-failed.py - Signalling delivery errors
