Hi Michael, I remembered your sig from a Slashdot article :)
How nice!
If COM and OLE are similar beasties,
OLE is built on top of COM. Historically, Microsoft came up with OLE to do
component GUI stuff, but had to find a way for programs to use components from
other programs, and COM is the so

I tried a couple of times to get ZooLib (http://www.zoolib.org/) to build with
Cygwin. ZooLib is a cross-platform application framework, and on Windows uses
COM to handle the clipboard and drag and drop.
I believe that actually you CAN get COM to work with gcc, even from C++, but
you're going

I admit to know almost nothing about COM objects, but I have been tasked
to find out if they can be built from code that uses cygwin1.dll services.
Searching for Cygwin and COM on the web, and in the archives, is difficult
for the obvious .com reason.
What I think I do know is that C++ COM
