The only way to run a multithreaded dll in
win 95 & VFP 6.0 sp3 is to use MTS to handle the thread pooling. This will probably change in COM+ when Windows 2000 is released, because all the code is in there, and thus will replace 95/98 and NT.

Windows 95 can run a DCOM object from an out of process server when the EXE is loaded on an NT4 or > server, I tried this and it runs fine.(slower than from a dll in MTS because it has to create a whole new instance of the EXE in memory but it's safer because if one of them crashes then the other server engines will not even notice the crash, they will continue to run normally)
