Re: Web-related IPC -- WAS: Re: Product Differentiation

If you haven't already, go ahead and look at ILU 
<URL:ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/ilu/ilu.html> (thank you, Larry & Dan). 
 As ILU-using programs can talk to other ILU, CORBA (yes, it is (basically) 
a CORBA ORB), and ONC RPC programs, as well as using HTTP, it looks like a 
reasonable solution for portable distributed computing.  Unfortunately, I 
haven't had a need to write such code yet, so I don't know how in practice 
it would stand up against other methods.  Worth a look, though.

Netscapies, Microsofties, I know you are out there -- are you listening?
