(Name of the Rose) I caught your Umberto Eco reference... I'm not a total barbarian. ;-). The ABI documentation is fairly public; there are a number of European companies that have it; so does Sun, so does DEC. There are a *huge* number of books that have it. As to funding, are you asking if I'm willing to work on this? Well, I'm willing to do the COM implementation, which is the underlying technology for DirectX, ActiveX, etc., assuming that FreeBSD ever switches to ELF.
