Fang,

The 'anchorage' module is an OrigDest which is an instantiation of
an Origin transactor and a Destination transactor.

So really anchorage consists of a composite of two transactors.
Each of those qualifies as a transactor because they each
instantiate an SceMiClockControl.

However the point you raise is valid because what is actually
in error is the pathnames shown in the BindMessage*Port calls.

The proper bindings should look like this:

    dOriginAnchorage = sceMi->BindMessageInPort(
        "Bridge.anchorage.origin", "sceMiMessageInPort", NULL );

    dDestinationAnchorage = sceMi->BindMessageOutPort(
        "Bridge.anchorage.destination", "sceMiMessageOutPort", &outBinding );

Thanks for pointing this out. I will make appropriate corrections in
the document.
