Sean,
Thanks for the pointer, but I don't understand a few things.
The example doen't seem to implement nsIModule anywhere. From what little
information I have been able to find it seems to me that this interface is
needed (to replace the individual calls NS*).
Since this method of creating pliugins has been around for over a year, it must
be documented somewhere. Could you point me at the appropriate documentation?
The only documentation about plugins I have been able to find on the mozilla
website is for the "old" way (NSGetFactory() etc).
thanks for the response,
stevek
