This is NOT being done by choice.  An edict from above has fallen
upon us. Somebody decided  that if it is not written in c++, then
by that very fact, it can't be good.  The Smalltalk development
group I am in has abused the c++ developers in function points per
month & every other measure of productivity, but that does not 
matter.

Now that I have vented, I feel better ;^). Thank you.

We may be able to survive if we can demonstrate the ability to
do interprocess communication via OLE2, the choice of our C++
development community.  They are using Borland c++, v4.5, and
OWL if that matters.  The manuals for ST/V for Win32 cover
basic OLE support, but do not venture into OLE2.

If anyone has any experience, suggestions, short examples, etc.
I, and the other ramaining Smalltalkers, would be most grateful.
As is always the case, we don't have much time.

Thans in advance,
