No, you cannot write OpenDoc parts with ADTR. This is the main reason I
cannot use Dylan seriously.

There is a round about way that would work though. You could build an
Apple Dylan library that implements the functionality of your part. Then
write an OpenDoc part in C that is a wrapper for the Dylan library. I have
never done this but I think it should work. The problem is that you have
to ship your part as a SOM object and a dylan library.
