Thank you, always good to have a LGPL version... But the big problem is DCom > We are a small software company, and I know that some customers of us are > interested in OPC on Linux in the past.

I gote a privet mail tipp for that Solution to, it lookt god untill I lookt at Technosoftwares "Software AG's EntireX DCOM on Linux" and AG's EntireX DCOM licens: http://www2.softwareag.com/Corporate/products/entirex/downloads/downl_exxdcom_bus.asp It seems like they wanted a license from all users (not just a development License), so that don't look good in our case. But they have a free vertion for non comersial use, if someone else is helpt by that... And a free trial vertion, for companies. Perhaps could be interesting to try it. Thanks for your tipp thow. /Rickard -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
