Hi Matt:

Hussmann is continuing to implode on itself.

When a COM object is created from ASP, the object is destroyed when the page goes away. The problem is when a COM object is loaded, it remains loaded in the WebServer until the process is shut down. This allows for quick access to the object when it is used again. In IIS, and apparently PWS running in NT, you can stop the process, thereby freeing up the object. However with Win95 you don't seem to be able to do this. You can click STOP in PWS, but this clears nothing. So you have to shut down the machine. This, of course is a real pain.
