The relevant page at Open Group, http://www.opengroup.org/comsource/ contains this definition of the DCOM package: While COMsource does not include the application programming interfaces (APIs) for object linking and embedding (OLE), or ActiveX? Controls, it does provide the underlying technology upon which they (or similar technologies) can be built. I read this as telling us that we get a *drawing* of a box on four wheels, based on which we can design a car... It does absolutely *nothing* toward making the real-world OLE and ActiveX apps freely interoperable across platforms. Somebody thinks we are all mushrooms... <bg> -- Jeremy H.
