Detailed Description

A global communication space used to obtain initial object references

MCOP needs a way to connect to initial (global) object references. This is done by these global communication spaces.

puts a variable/value pair into the global communication space - it will not change the value of the variable if it is already present. Returns true if success, false if the variable was already there.

gets the value of a variable out of the global communication space - it returns an empty string when the variable isn't there

removes a variable from the global communication space
