A recent issue of Unix Today! had a story "Object Management Guide Published", describing the just published Object Management Architecture (OMA) Guide, Version 1.0, from the Object Management Group (OMG). The president of OMG is Chris Stone, but the article fails to give any(!) contact information. [Way to go Unix Today!...] Does anyone have the address or phone number of the OMG, or information on how to order the Guide? And what is the consensus on the Group and its architecture, etc.? Thanks alot! -- A. Lester Buck buck@siswat.lonestar.org ...!uhnix1!lobster!siswat!buck

Lester Buck buck@siswat.lonestar.org ...!uhnix1!lobster!siswat!buck The Object Management Group (OMG) is a company in Framingham, Mass. I don't have the number with me, but directory assistance can help you out. I just picked up a copy of the OMA and was a little disappointed. It all seems like very preliminary stuff, and largely just outlines the Object server philosophy, defines terminology, and sets things up for future Requests For Technology. I do sense that there is 'vision' behind their work, but I guess I'd like to see concrete results a little sooner. I also wonder if they have enough clout to define a standard such as this. HP is behind them, but acceptance of NewWave seems a little slow. Notably absent from the consortium is Microsoft -- I know they are working on projects in this area -- I'd hate to see them come out with something proprietary that really takes off. I'll certainly be interested to see what comes of OMG's efforts, but it looks like it will take a fair bit of time.
