Many. CORBA, DSOM, ILU, GUILE, JavaBeans. There are source, binary
modules. Networked or not. Providing services or widgets. You choose.
Even shared libraries.

Netscape has its own API. M$IE's is DCOM. DCOM is proprietary.
Therefore, DCOM is bad.

Couldn't it be done using GNU's GUILE and GTK? Someone has already
something for GTK... http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/freesw/gtk/
There are lots of homework to be done on this issue before you
can really understand what you really want and need...
