After a lengthy off-list conversation, I would like to state that we
need to triage issues and correct the
component to be appropriate. I would also like to add that we need to
add the keyword DCOM98 for
all issues where the solution is to use the native version of DCOM98.
This will allow the developers,
triage and quality assurance (those who test ths solutions) to quickly
determine which issuses need to
be examined whenever a solution is found. This can be extended to use of
other native dlls and program
packages. This will also allow others to quickly find workarounds until
a permanent solution is found.
