This gives me a better picture of what you are hoping for.

I have done some COM and DCOM programming in C over the past year and 
have found the whole thing tedious.  My experience has been in non-gui 
client-server systems with, uh, I forgot the COM word for callbacks.  I 
have considered making a somewhat general external and library to do 
some of this, but have put it off.  I still might do it depending on 
customer needs.  However, if mc or a third party is at work on this, 
I'm not going to bother.

For new designs, I use tcp/ip with some robustness added.
