I have a (pre-MS) copy - I was trying to avoid re-installing it on my newly
installed Win4Lin v3.0 (running on RH7.1) because I want to get rid of as
much Windows crap as possible but if it will help the development process I
am happy to of course.
I have never done anything with OLE though - it seems like that shouldn't
be a problem if someone is willing to point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Phil.
