So it sounds like either the Linux slinke server has to be modified to
talk DCOM or CDJ (and every other app that talks to Slink-serv) has to
be modified to talk TCP.  Modifying CDJ seemed like a good idea (I
imagine that it'd be as simple as opening a TCP connection rather than
using DCOM & then passing that file handle on to the rest of the
program; that's probably a fantasy though) until I realized that
having only CDJ wouldn't do that much good because I really want
slink-saver and/or PartyGUI (which I still haven't tried because
slinkserv doesn't work reliably on my system).
