I know COM interface come from the need to interact with Windows COM. CORBA (in terms of FPC), I'm not to sure of. You also get XPCOM - also supported by FPC, and I believe this is also a non-reference counted interface. As for rather using "ref counted" vs "not ref counted" to reference the different interface types (COM and CORBA). Not even that would be a good solution, because you can implement a COM interface that doesn't have reference counting. Simply implement the IInterface (aka IUnknown) methods yourself and remove the reference counting bits. :-) Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
