RE: DCOM on Mac OS X, or using sockets?



COM for the Macintosh never made it to DCOM. The last public SDK-able OLE for the Macintosh was for Classic, and it only supported LRPC via AppleEvents. Even today's Microsoft Office for the Macintosh includes a private carbonized COM, but it's still not got DCOM abilities, so even if it were public... :/

That said, I have _no idea_ if there are 3rd party implementations.

Subject: DCOM on Mac OS X, or using sockets?

<snip />

If Mac OS X clients *were* able to use DCOM to connect to the Win32  
server application, it might save a lot of development effort,  
because the Win32 server application's implemetation does not have to  
be changed.
On the other hand, Google doesn't know much about DCOM for Mac OS X,  
it seems there was a beta version available for classical Mac OS  
around 1997...?

Maybe someone can point to documentation, or has experience using  
DCOM on Mac OS X?
