Exactly.  Which is why I want to write a command-line wrapper for at least
some of the DCOM functionality.

Thanks for the DCOM reference and the coding example.

Here is a script called "write" that allows me to use WordPad from within
Cygwin:

  #!/bin/bash
  [ "$1" = "" ] && exec /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/write
  [ ! -f "$1" ] && touch "$1"
  exec /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/write "$(cygpath -w "$1" )"

Why is modifying such a script to accept additional command-line arguments
not germaine to this list?
