I am not encountering a problem, I am examining the feasibility of making an
extensible interpreted scripting language. I want to provide the capability
of extending the language by adding functions written in C++. Although the
functions would be written in C++ they would be callable from the interpreted
language.


Why don't you embed a Python or Lua interpreter into your C++ app? These
script languages are made to be embedded into your app and you can easily
expose C functions callable by the script. I highly recommend this over
ActiveX because you control the whole thing.

That might be a good idea, I will look into it. What about licensing issues? I
can't do the whole GNU thing, I spent 30,000 hours on this to make money.
