I see! You certainly are very knowledgeable about the subject and have done a lot of research on it. Now it makes sense to me more. This api that continually changes, reminds me of MySQL. I wrote web programs only to find out they broke, when mysql changed their API, and then freepascal had to release a newer file that linked to the DLL. It's a nightmare when api continually changes. I can see them (firefox) changing the architecture to support multiprocess though. .... > I'll try later to find the relevant links I had found in the past about > this topic, found after spending a lot of hours trying to make morend > XulRunners work embedded in Lazarus. > Your knowledge on the subject is significant!
