ABSTRACT:
The invention is related to methods and apparatus that advantageously provide compatibility between two or more different computer systems, such as computers used in a manufacturing environment, e.g., a foundry for semiconductor fabrication. For example, a first computer system with a first operating system, such as OS/2® from IBM Corporation, and a second computer system with a second operating system, such as Windows® NT® from Microsoft Corporation. In one embodiment, a transfer module permits an application that executes in the IBM® OS/2® operating system access to files maintained in a component object model (COM+) format from Microsoft Corporation. A routing module transfers data to and from a module with functions created in the component object model (COM+) format. One embodiment of the routing module routes data according to one of four selectable processing paths termed TAPCOM, COMTAP, TAPCOMTAP, and COMTAPCOM.
