You can follow this link
   http://www.sugarWeb.com/Web/index.htm
 to know how to convert the Squeak VM in a COM object.
This page is in spanish but you can folow the link to Squeak page
 and the english version.
At end of the squeak essays you can find a link to a page
 with zip files containing the source code.

hope this can help.
Ale.

Hi all,

	I want to know if the squeak interpretor is thread-safe. Because I would
like to compile it as an ActiveX that implements the IActiveScript interface
(WIN32 platform specific, sorry). Such ActiveX are interpretors for
scripting langages in IE or windows scripting host. Microsoft provides DLLs
for JScript and VBScript, but they don't fit well with heavy-scripted pages
on the client-side and someone has made a PERL implementation also. Using
squeak would enable scripting like this I guess :
<SCRIPT language="squeak">
	(NodeList with: (document tags: "DIV")) do: [:t | t innerHTML:
"<H1>Foobar</H1>"]
</SCRIPT>

This raises a few questions :
 - is the interpretor thread-safe ?
 - can the image be stripped easily of all display-related stuff ?
 - how do I wrap an external COM object into a squeak object ?
