DCOM extends Microsoft Windows 95 support for Smart Cards. This is required for proper operation of your Smart Card Security Kit. WHAT IT REALLY DOES: DCOM95 extends the support for Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) for Microsoft Windows 95. The DCOM wire protocol transparently provides support for reliable, secure, and efficient communication between COM components such as ActiveX controls, scripts, and Java applets residing on different machines in a LAN, a WAN, or on the Internet. With DCOM, your application can be distributed across locations that make the most sense to the application.
