Thank you very much for your efforts!

Well, I would be very interested, but have been more and more overwhelmed with
a couple of totally
different responsibilities leading to an 80hrs week (was glad to hade been able
to release
BSF4ooRexx for all platforms this past summer!). Currently, it is simply
(physically, as long as the
day has only 24 hours) not possible for me to start a whole new challenge
(would need to learn about
the gory details of COM, OLE and all the great work you have been conducting;
then researching the
ActiveX interfaces and coming up with ideas of how to implement the interfaces
in ooRexx).
Maybe there are some developers who together could master this challenge, which
IMHO is integral for
a full Windows support.
