Just to add my .02 cents to the 2 cents, that Gary Schwartz wrote -
1) Make i t possible to call / activate an activex control directly from
MapInfo
2) Expose _all_ of the MapInfo functionality in COM/DCOM (or whatever
object based interface the OS supports)
You could dispose the need for MapBasic or other scripting languages
alltogether and use a standard programming language like Delphi or C++ (even
VB) as your development platform for MapInfo. Speaking as a old Delphi
programmer, It would be _very_ nice to control and extend MapInfo without
doing MapBasic/Delphi dll-kludges all day long.
