Ice, the Internet Communications Engine, is a middleware for the
practical programmer developed by ZeroC Inc. A high-performance
Internet communications platform, Ice includes a wealth of layered
services and plug-ins.
Ice is built on concepts which will be familiar to CORBA programmers,
and supports a wide variety of programming languages and runtime
platforms.
This package provides the Glacier2 related libraries, a firewall
solution for Ice applications. You will find further information in
the ZeroC home page (http://www.zeroc.com/ice.html) and in the
non-free package zeroc-ice-manual.
