Oddly enough, that too would be answered by putting
java "COM interface"
into google and clicking "I feel lucky."

Which implementation do you use?
Plus, you probably use Word and Excel, and they both support COM too.

Because one is the default file manager in OpenSUSE and the other is the
default file manager in Windows.

I actually did that at one stage. But it was on a normal CRT monitor back
then and everybody else complained that they couldn't find anything... ;)

Yeah, well, I had noticed that you seem to know far more about COM than
I do. (To me, "COM" is "that thing which apparently powers Windows but
that I can't actually get near".)

Smalltalk VisualWorks. I *think* it was v3.0...

You mean VBA supports COM?

One is *a* default file manager in OpenSUSE. :-)

Not *that* much. Maybe a half a day's worth of learning?

http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/documentation/current/ReleaseNotes7.5.pdf
They were up to a version that supports it (7.5) five years ago. You were
working with V3.0. Perhaps you were using a pre-COM version that wouldn't
run under Win98 or something?

How do you think VBA talks to the application? Of course it supports COM.
That's pretty much *all* it supports. It doesn't really do anything on its own.

And not even the most recent - Dolphin is the default in KDE4 on 11.2,
IIRC. I don't know for sure, though, because Nautilus is the default in
GNOME (which is what I use).

So why compare with Linux? You're comparing with OpenSUSE.
