+//
+// = DESCRIPTION
+//   This file was used to generate the code in DynamicAnyC.{h,i,cpp}
+//   The file was obtained from the OMG website as part of the full
+//   CORBA IDL formal/00-04-01:
+// http://www.omg.org/technology/documents/formal/corba_omg_idl_text_file.htm
+//   I couldn't find a copyright notice in the document, but I will
+//   assume that it is Copyright (C) 2000, OMG.
+//   We performed some modifications to the file, mainly to use local
+//   interfaces (part of what is coming in CORBA 2.4 and CORBA 3.0).
+//
+//   The command used to generate code from this file is:
+//
+//     tao_idl.exe -o orig -Gp -Gd -Ge 1 -Gv \
+//          -Wb,export_macro=TAO_DynamicAny_Export \
+//          -Wb,export_include=dynamicany_export.h \
+//          -Wb,pre_include="ace/pre.h" \
+//          -Wb,post_include="ace/post.h" \
+//          DynamicAny.pidl
+//
+//   after the file is generated a patch must be applied.  The patch
+//   fixes some problems with interceptors and local interfaces and
+//   disables parts of the code under certain configurations.
+//
+//   Apply patches using the following commands:
+//
+//   patch < diffs/DynamicAnyC.h.diff
+//   patch < diffs/DynamicAnyC.i.diff
+//   patch < diffs/DynamicAnyC.cpp.diff
+//
+//   Those changes are required because the generated
+//   code is part of the TAO library, it hardly makes any sense to
+//   change the IDL compiler to support changes that are very
+//   occasional.
+//
+//   Note: The diffs were generated with these commands:
+//
+//   diff -wbu orig/DynamicAny.pidl DynamicAny.pidl > diffs\DynamicAny.pidl.diff
+//
+//   diff -wbu orig/DynamicAnyC.h DynamicAnyC.h > diffs/DynamicAnyC.h.diff
+//   diff -wbu orig/DynamicAnyC.i DynamicAnyC.i > diffs/DynamicAnyC.i.diff
+//   diff -wbu orig/DynamicAnyC.cpp DynamicAnyC.cpp > diffs/DynamicAnyC.cpp.diff
