 okay, got that [am borrowing the neighbour's wireless broadband
 *ROTFL*]


 okay.

 okay.

 dlls/ole32/dcom.idl appears to contains _evverrything_.

 freedce/dcom/*.idl contains code split into several bits,
 such as obase.idl and objex.idl and scmscm.idl.

 freedce is missing a definition for ResolveOxid2, and iRemUnknown.

 oh - yes, _that_'s right: wez added interface inheritance, too, iirc.

 [wez, is that right?]


 so - the DCOM code is in the ole32 directory, yes?

 so, can i ask you - where are the key usage points for widl?
 WIDL is entered into every single Makefile and unfortunately
 there is a .idl.h entry in every Makefile too.

 ta,
