Subject: Re: COM on Unix?

Don't forget UNO - Universal Network Objects from the OpenOffice.org
project.

Looks better than COM. It's IDL is more like CORBA IDL in some ways - for
instance you can define exceptions in IDL. It allows you to define services
(components) that implement multiple interfaces.
There's a bridge to COM/OLE on Windows platforms.

I'd recommend having a look at the CORBA Component Model too but I don't
know of any strictly Unix implementations (only a couple of Java
implementations out there afaik). So I won't :-)

Cheers, Steve.
