Brutus 0.9.2. Brutus is an Exchange connector and development framework that offers access to all of MAPI and therefore to all versions of Microsoft Exchange from version 5.5 onwards. It is a complete wrapping of all of MAPI into a (large) set of CORBA interfaces. It enables any groupware client to integrate seamlessly into any organization with large Exchange deployments on an equal footing with MS Outlook. Being based on CORBA, it is platform independent, and works equally well on Linux, the BSDs, Windows, or wherever there is a CORBA implementation available. [freshmeat.net] 8:19:59 AM
