Re: The Magic Box-(Check out Microsoft Guru Rockford Lhotka)

As much as I love the AS/400
re the NT Servers--the potential is there for this stuff to be a serious
threat. Check out Microsoft Guru Rockford Lhotkas papers and two books,
just publised--he tells you exactley how to get this stuff working
properly!!
I just purchased Professional Visual Basic 6 Distributed Objects by Rocky
isbn 1-861002-07-6 Wrox press goes into NT servers a lot and why projects
with them often fail compared to the big iron!

cheers Dave
