As pointed out, there are a zillion solutions the the named pipes example
I described in a previous post.  My goal was simple to answer the poster's
original question of:

: >: The root question, therefore, is what can you do with an OID (which is 
: >: just a number) that you couldn't do with the object itself?  If you did 

In no way did I mean to imply that OIDs were the only solution (or good 
solution for that matter) to the distributed object problem.
