How difficult is it to port some existing code from IE to the Mozilla control?

Related QuestionsHow can the Mozilla control be binary compatible with the IE control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsActiveX (or rather COM) is a binary standard for defining the APIs that a control exposes. It allows controls and other types of object to be interchangeable as long as they implement the same APIs and function in the same way through those APIs. The Mozilla control attempts to do exactly this, emulating Internet Explorer control as closely as possible so that host applications cannot tell them apart.
Related QuestionsCan I port existing Z80 or Z180 assembly code to the Rabbit?
answers.htmYes. Some Z80 and Z180 instructions have been eliminated, but they are mainly obscure instructions or instructions that can easily be emulated by a short sequence of instructions. The instructions that deal with I/O devices are quite different, but usually I/O code cannot be ported from one system to another in any case, so nothing is lost.
Related QuestionsWhy does the Mozilla installer break the control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe installer now splits Mozilla into two directories - a GRE directory under "Program files\Common files\Mozilla.org\GRE" contains the Gecko runtime engine and the actual Mozilla directory (specified by the user during installation) contains the chrome and application DLLs. The mozctlx.dll is installed in the GRE directory but cannot locate the chrome it needs (which is in the Mozilla part). Therefore it breaks.
