True, but for those people that develop for the Win32 environment only,
there is no reason not to use OCX components. Using David Botton's GNATCOM,
allows you to both use COM, ActiveX, OCX components from Ada, or to even
write
new ones.
And, of course, I should put in the remark that COM technology is not NT
specific per se.
Jerry.
