Abstract

This is a short report on a short project, carried out during a 3-month sabbatical stay at Microsoft Research in the fall of 1998. The motivation for this endeavor was double-faced: On one hand, verify the degree of language independence promised by the COM component technology and, on the other hand, explore COM as a potential commercial environment and framework for Oberon applications. The project finally converged towards a simple case study, an electronic bank implemented in Oberon as a COM server under Windows NT and illustratively used by a Visual Basic client.
