This release is identified by the version number 1.3. - -Project DOE is SunSoft's corporate-wide development effort to integrate -distributed object technology into the Solaris O/S. OMG (Object Management -Group) is the industry wide body formed to create specifications for -distributed object technology. It currently has more than 370 members.
