I know nothing of the scripting control. It probably does what our
interface DLL does. I assume you feed it a script. How do scripts
communicate back? The intended app will likely be given a script that
uses ReportLab to draw a chart and render it into eps, the script will
pass the eps bytes back to the caller.

I'll certainly have a look at the Scripting Control, but I fear the
intended platform isn't win32 (probably mac).
