[DUG] svCOM components

[Paul McKenzie]

Do you actually require a DCOM Service?
If not, why add the overhead of another 3rd party product.

Our initial use of SVCOM was to provide an Application which provided a DCOM Service on Win95 WinNT 
and Win2K. Why ???

We managed to convince our clients that a service was not actually necessary - all they required was 
the auto launch of a DCOM AppServer when there was no logon active on the AppServer...
