Correct. And as Martin said, the name "CORBA" is a bit misleading. FPC
has no CORBA or ORB implementation, so no distributed communications can
be done out of the box. The interfaces in that mode [CORBA style], I
guess, is just _similar_ to real CORBA apps. The easiest way to explain
it is that CORBA style interfaces are just like COM style interfaces,
but without reference counting, and no IUnknown methods.
