Hi Jeremy, I did DCOM before, it seems that DCOM client application running on different windows version win95, win98, winNT connect to DCOM server running on different windows version will have problem. Also there is trouble related to security setting in DCOM and windows. If let me choose plain TCP/IP implemention and DCOM,(Of course DCOM can run on top of TCP/IP if I recalled correctly), I will use TCP/IP.

Ok, well I have had a play with the INDY stuff, and got it working, but its still not quite right. Its prob. Just me tho...doing it late at night which prob. Doenst help. But I found an only Delphi 4 book I have which had about DCOM in it. The only thing that looks like a hassel is the client installation. I.e. manually having to say where the server is etc. Can this be don't progmatically via say a Setup program or something? Otherwise its too much hassel to try and get sometimes computer iliterate or people that can only manage an install to setup DCOM.

I thought DCOM was invented for this purpose. Why is it an overkill? I would think it is easier to use than mail slots or raw TCP/IP. ----- Original Message ----- From: "vss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi all. > I have a need to send data from one app to another which mcan be on > the same machine or on another PC.
