Hi,

The executable format under Win32 for pretty much every kind of file that
can hold code is called PE (Portable Executable).
If you look under google with "PE format disassembler", you should probably
find something. If you have MS Visual Studio, DUMPBIN /ALL /DISASM will do
the job for you.

For more details on PE, take a look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/techart/msdn_peeringpe.htm

I don't know about COM, but there is the beginnings of a DCOM implementation
for UNIX at http://sourceforge.net/projects/freedce/
