This is something that I do know. Yes, "anyone" (well...) can create their own ActiveX-components, Free or unfree, in at least a couple of programming languages. I do that as part of my work. They usually end up in OCX or DLL-files (these DLLs are a bit different from "normal" DLLs though, often called COM-DLLs). /Mathias _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
