+ Related is also James Hatheway's work on the JScript engine. This work was
+ presented on Wineconf 2002. Summary of the presentation (taken from winehq.com):
+ 
+ "James Hatheway's presentation was next, about how he implemented an
+ ActiveScript aware jscript.dll. Due to a client's request, he was assigned to
+ develop his own jscript.dll, desipte the fact that the MS dll is freely
+ distributable. He explained what ActiveScript is, a platform for applications to
+ handle scripting languages, without having to know how those languages are
+ implemented. Using spidermonkey, he was able to develop a jscript dll that
+ allowed groove networks' client to work. The client uses Javascript to render
+ its entire interface. Francios of Macadamian also discussed a tool, which lets
+ applications replace embedded internet explorer components with a Gecko browser.
+ James' presentation discussed a lot of details of COM and the IDispatch pointer,
+ which most of the developers found unfamiliar. James himself described the
+ functionality as "black magic"."
