Ik think we should. It is much easier to embed a window from a different process than from the same IMHO. --ms ----- Original Message ----- From: <gogins@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <gmpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 18:06 Subject: [gmpi] Re: Reqs 3.6 and 3.7 (was Reqs section 3.6) In that case we should NOT require GUIs to run out of process.
