Distributed Component Object Model
     
         (DCOM) {Microsoft}'s extension of their
        {Component Object Model} (COM) to support objects distributed
        across a {network}.  DCOM has been submitted to the {IETF} as
        a draft standard.  Since 1996, it has been part of {Windows
        NT} and is also available for {Windows 95}.
     
        Unlike {CORBA}, which runs on many {operating systems}, DCOM
        is currently (Dec 1997) only implemented by {Microsoft} for
        {Microsoft Windows} and by {Software AG}, under the name
        "{EntireX}", for {Unix} and {IBM} {mainframes}.  DCOM serves
        the same purpose as {IBM}'s {DSOM} {protocol}.
     
        DCOM is broken because it's an {object model} that has no
        provisions for {inheritance}, one of the major reasons for
        {object oriented programming} in the first place.
