One thing I would like to know is how come your mail environment
invents its own charsets:

You probably meant iso-8859-1 (one and not lower case letter i)
While we are at this subject, why are you mailing the same message both
as text and html? Are repeating phrases while talking as well? <p>Are you

Well, let's see if we can shed some light upon your questions (though with the
name DarkLord who knows :-)

The experts are completely right there is no equivalent technology - just
better ones:
1. RPC (either ONC-RPC or DCE-RPC) for simple minded remote procedure
calls.
2. CORBA for inter object communications.
3. Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation). BTW, this is one important part
Microsoft removed from Visual-J++ thereby violating Java copyright
(Lost in court in ~Oct-97).
4. Java Beans - Software components.
These are better since all of them:
1. Are cross platform (Winblows, Unix/Linux, whatever...)
2. Have open specifications not controlled by a single company
3. Have one or more open-source implementations available for study and
debugging.
One thing I can't beat in these "technologies" is ADO - what is that? (probably
Active Desktop Oxymoron)

Windows 98 supports real multitasking - it can boot and crash simultaneously.
