Are you sure you're using COM right? I have also written an outproc
server test and it works OK - at least I've been able to marshal a Hello
World RPC across.

The class factory that is marshalled back across only supports
IClassFactory as far as I know, IRunnableObject may well be implemented on
the instances it creates but not the factory itself.

It's not really possible (or a good idea) to merge all of it. Try googling
for "world-of-dcom" and that should show you the patch I got last time I
did a quick merge.

Me and Rob are starting to scrape together a plan, I think, and as part of
working on other apps we're fixing bits as we go, but it's a long long
road we have ahead of us. Any help would certainly be welcome.
