The Distributed Component Object Model protocol is an application-level 
protocol for object-oriented remote procedure calls useful for distributed,
component-based systems of all types. It is a generic protocol layered on 
the distributed computing environment (DCE) RPC specification and 
facilitates the construction of task-specific communication protocols 
through features such as: a platform neutral argument/parameter marshaling 
format (NDR), the ability for objects to support multiple interfaces with a
safe, interface-level versioning scheme suited to independent evolution by 
multiple parties, the ability to make authenticated connections and to 
choose levels of channel security, and a transport-neutral data 
representation for references (including by-value) to objects.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-brown-dcom-v1-spec-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
For questions, please mail to [e-mail].
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
