One way to do this is to make sure that Ada is a first class
citizen when it comes to the COM interface, so it can play in
the same playground as VB. We have worked hard in the case of
GNAT to make GNAT fully compatible with COM/DCOM, and you can
do some VERY neat things with GNAT in this arena. I am sure
David Botton will be happy to elaborate :-)
