[NTLUG:Discuss] COM and Linux

[Kenneth Loafman]

No answer yet, so here goes...

We are an R&D company that has an application that runs on Linux, i.e.
its strictly a server app, all compute, command line driven, absolutely
no reason to run on MS at all.  Our spin off company is basically a
Microsoft shop with only passing familiarity with Linux.  At this point
in time, if I can get some help on this, we have the ability to keep a
few servers from going to MS, if we can come up with a good
inter-process package like COM that works between MS and Linux. 
Otherwise, they'll wrap the application in a COM wrapper, put multiple
servers out there, and MS will get the license fees for several years. 
That would be a loss to the Linux side.

All help is appreciated.

...Thanks,
...Ken
