Abstract
An object present on a first computer is replicated on a second computer. The object includes pointers to program code within the memory space of the first computer. Data elements of said object are stored in a message which is transmitted from the first computer to the second computer. The message is received at the second computer, creating a dummy object which is named and dimensioned to correspond to the object, but which does not include the data values on the second computer. The data values are then read from the received message into the dummy object on the second computer.
