I once heard that COM wouldn''t work in Linux. Is that true? Isn''t COM just built on standard C++ stuff? C++ works fine in Linux, right?

I have no idea if COM couldn''t work in Linux (I only know the concepts behind COM like things, not the specifics of COM), but I know it doesn''t (unless whatever is included in Winelib handles enough of it).

Of course.

If you want COM-like functionality, look into CORBA. There are a lot of CORBA libraries for unixes (some implement more than others).

COM is platform-indepented and can be implemented in a varity of languages.

COM works fine with Linux.
