To keep things clear I've dicerned three catagories of laguages when
refering to OpenDoc. Comment as you wish!
Lingo #1: Development: This is the language that the OpenDoc part is
actually written in. Since OpenDoc is SOM based, it tends that this
language must support or be supported by SOM. Right now this includes C,
C++, Pascal and conceivably anything else.
Lingo #2: Automation and Control: This is the language that can automate
and control an OpenDoc document. It complies with OSA, the Open Scripting
Architecture. Applescript, Frontier, and possibly Rexx, and Visual Basic
fit into this catagory.
Lingo #3: Imbeded Applet: This is an object inside a document (or the
document itself) that has a standalone purpose and an interface. Examples
include Java, CodeWorks, and the combination of AppleScript with FaceSpan
(2.0 or 3.0?).
My original question was focused on Lingo #3: Imbeded Applet and I think
that would be the easiest to implement and the most useful (for me anyway)
to be done.

PS Unix versions of OpenDoc *are* being developed...
