Downloading FTS

Requirements: To use FTS, you need to first have the following installed:
Operating System: FTS is written in pure java. It is OS-independent by design. However, it was never fully tested on nothing but Linux. Also, it's source code is built using customary GNU tools: cvs, make, bash. So if you wish, you can run it on Windows after adapting the build stuff according to your environment. Alternatively, you can run FTS on Windows with Cygwin.

Red Hat 9 note: FTS makes extensive use of threading. The NPTL threading library issued with Red Hat 9 is a little buggy, and so ORBacus and FTS might not work properly. To avoid this, upgrade the NPTL support in the glibc (this is a root operation) by downloading this source RPM, building it and installing it. Essentially, any glibc-2.3.2 with release not lower than 57 should do the trick.

Current version (0.2)

JIDLScript: This is a software suit that implements CORBAScript - the OMG standard for scripting in CORBA. The original v0.1 package came from LIFL but it was extensively tweaked and modified by Erez: JIDLscript is not essential for FTS to work, but it is incorporated into some of the demo scripts, so if you want to get running FTS fast, use it. As a general rule, it is the best tool for testing CORBA servers - just run the server and access the objects directly from the jish (JIDLScript shell) directly. It also has some nice GUIs and many other features.
The (tweaked) JIDLscript code is here.
