This is the bopper2 server distribution for biocomputing command-line
application services.  It uses CORBA compliant protocol for client-
server interface to command-line style programs.  The bopper2.idl
is the CORBA interface definition.  Each subfolder has a readme
describing its contents.  The makerun file is a set of commands I used
to compile and execute the server in testing.   

Bopper.properties holds properties that you can change for defining
the services at run time.   It points to folders chapps/ for general
commands and gcgapps/ for GCG software commands.   

dclap/ holds the java source code, and classes/ holds the java compiled
classes, including OmniBroker's ORB (www.ooc.com).  This is free for
non-commercial uses, but commercial users will need to pay OOC.

bin/, help/ and work/ are run time folders. bin/ holds whatever apps
you want to serve (pointed to by the .command files).  help/ has
help docs that are href'ed in the .command files, assuming also you
have an http service pointing to this folder.   work/ is configured
to hold per-process working files sent from/to client.

this distribution home is iubio.bio.indiana.edu/molbio/java/source/
bopper2-src.tar.gz.
