Actually the fix was easier on 5.x because of vtable changes. It still does not work on 4.x with the system compiler, but might work if compiled with gcc3. So much about xpcoms idea to be compiler independent... It took me a long time to realise that they just access the compilers vtable of the modules without encapsulating it. The xpcom tests also worked on 1.4, but the build failed nearly before finishing :( Unfortunately I went out of time, but it's still on my todo list. Also on my list is having native Java support. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de ticso@bwct.de info@bwct.de
