Hello all,

I'm new on this list and (of course :) already with the first question:

A customer (with whom I have been implementing building control
applications) has asked me whether we can interface to OPC. Some
research led me to [1] and thus to OLE, COM and DCOM.

Since I don't Windows [2], I stumbled upon your project. I know very
little about COM/DCOM ald all that (the last programs I wrote on Windows
platforms were for DDE, that was about Windows 3.1 era :) I ask you:

Do I have a fighting chance of implementing something like an OPC
interface on top of freedce/dcom? Or should I leave this to the Windows
folks?
