Yep.  The attached tarball is taken directly from the code snippet
library on my company Sourceforge.

  I'm afraid CORBA sort of lost its buzzword status a few years ago,
which I find a pity since I consider it technically superior to SOAP
or XML/RPC (much less hassle on the programmer, a better/more powerful
model, and much less network overhead since there's no XML
textification of data).

  Well, a file is just a sequence of bytes, so yes, you can.  Just
write a method with two string parameters (file name and file
contents), for instance.
