Start by creating a standard COM object, but register it for debugging.
Test it out.  If one of the last messages you see relates to a failed QI for
IID_IObjectSafety, then you can implement this interface just like you would
any other non-Dispatch based interface - ie, add it to "_com_interfaces_",
add the methods to _public_methods_, and implement them!  The debug output
should then show the QI succeed, then the methods being called.

If they are calling it from ASP, then there should be no need to implement
this interface.  Any COM object should work.  AFAIK, there is only an issue
when trying to run it on the client.

Mark.
