| 34 | + | - create TAutoObject | |
| 35 | + | - implement tlbimp.exe | |
| 36 | + | - port to linux as NPAPI wrapper (just partially kidding ;) as base you can us my updated NPAPI scripting code (https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=8708) \[^\] - already working with FPC (similar entry point functions as in COM) :) | |
| 37 | + | ||
| 38 | + | - integrate MIDL.exe (wine old version of MIDL has an incorrect output format :( ) | |
