Normally prorams can't call functions in other programs. (Unless you 
count the operatin system.) And certainly not in programs runnin on

I guess that's what this technology brings to the table. (Whatever the 
technology is actually called...)

OOC, is there some better way rather than tunnelling over HTTP? Surely 
somebody has already come up with sane designs for this?
