This version has a new access method: COM. This access method was contributed by @hhubbell and is for use on Windows clients to connect via IOM using the com client instead of the Java client. The com IOM client is how SAS Enterprise Guide (EG) connects over IOM. This access method connects to any Remote Workspace server, just like the existing IOM access method does, and it can also connect to a Local Windows SAS install too, also like the Java client version.
