That's what  I meant...
I'm not sure how much of .net is dcom, a.k.a. OLE3...

And unfortuneatly I don't know the build details for a com/ole server (which
is what we'd need in binutils). I believe there is v. little to it though
when you are using in-process servers. The big hooha is creating the class
registration in the registry at install time.

Anyway it's in the discussion pot now..
Rob
