If there is any interest in it, I can port comet it to R11B, and fix
some of the known problems (e.g. removing features that never worked),
but it will have to be maintained as a contribution, not as part of OTP.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
We removed Comet for several reasons:
1) The project within Ericsson that required COM support was discontinued.
2) Comet was only in alfa or beta status
3) Lack of someone to maintain it (no finance for suitable person because of 1).

<pre wrap="">Was it just lack of someone to maintain it or was it dropped due to an
evaluation of usage/usefulness - i.e. perhaps on the idea that COM is
a legacy technology?
Cheers,

<pre wrap="">Nothing took it's place... However, you can still get Comet from an
older relase, Erlang/OTP 5.1 (R8B) is the last one, and recompile it
with a newer erlang release. (Note that the driver interface has changed
a bit.)

<pre wrap="">When Comet was removed from the Erlang distribution, what took its
place? i.e. Now that Comet is gone, how does a program access a COM
object on the Windows platform?
TIA
