At one time I wrote a plain-text editor with a plug-in
interface that was writen in VB 6. VB's ActiveX DLL
projects and ActiveX EXE can be used to make a
program that can be extended with plug-ins. A good
idea is to make a ActiveX DLL and use it as the a
middle-man of sorts between the word processor and
plug-ins, and use a configuration file or registry entries
to have the class names of plug-ins. The word
processor and the plug-ins will both need to refernce
that ActiveX DLL library. This way you wan't have to
make an ActiveX EXE which is a little limited when it
comes to exporting OLE/ActiveX classes. I lost the
editor due to a hard drive crash.

    would you like to work on this ? Or should I ? I also added
    the "Source" package for download today - so you can mess
    around with the programs.
