Dear Sir / Madam,
We are developing a software which is running on Linux platform. The software will retrieve the information from TETRA Connectivity Server (TCS) which is running on Window 2003 server. The communication protocol, pre-defined by TCS manufacturing, is DCOM. Since the communication protocol is not opened by the manufacturer. We must install the API provided by the manufacturer on our workstation running on Linux. Does WINE support the DCOM function?

Yes. We recommend to use latest version of WINE (from http://winehq.org or from your distribution repository if it has recent versions). If something will not work for you please fill a bug report at http://bugs.winehq.org . In case if builtin DCOM support doesn't work as expected you can run "winetricks dcom98" to use native DCOM instead (you can download winetricks at http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks ). If this workaround helps you should mention this in your bug report as well. Thanks for using WINE.

IANAL, but for being legal this way requires a user to have valid Windows Licence (or so). One of at least Win98, AFAIK.

AFAIK copyright only governs copying/distribution. You may need a license to redistribute MS-DCOM, but since it's Microsoft itself who distributes it in their website I don't think they have a basis to claim damages. (IANAL, either) -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak? (as seen on /.)
