How similar are COM and baboon going to be?

[Garrett Smith <gsmith serv net>]

Hi,
	I have heard varying stances on how similar the two will be, varying
from baboon being basically a OLE clone, to OLE merely being an
"inspiration" for baboon.  Are we going to use the same interfaces as
OLE and just change parts that are irrelevant because of corba and fix
what we see as bugs?  Or are we going to do similar things as OLE but
come up with a new interface loosely based on OLE?

The stuff in the baboon CVS tree seems more on the lines of inspiration
but Miguel is talking like it will be more directly related to OLE.

Also where is a spec for OLE?  I'm reading the online Inside OLE but i'm
looking for an list of interfaces and their functions.

Thanks,
