Phil,

Thanks a lot!
I really needed some guidance... I know how this stuff works in theory,
but I've never done it in practice.

Isn't this effectively the same as just calling CoMarshalInterface on
the apple pointer, and passing the stream on?

I want the apples to behave just as they would've if I wasn't
marshalling them, so I'd rather not go this route.
Never mess with nature.

Are there any online samples of MBV with interface pointers? I've looked
around a bit, but haven't found anything solid.
