This is a complete implementation of OLE Automation support for GVim. 
 
 
1. Files 
-------- 
 
if_ole.cpp, if_ole.idl	source files 
proto/if_ole.pro	prototypes 
if_ole_vc.mak		makefile 
../doc/if_ole.txt	documentation 
 
 
2. Compiling from the command line 
---------------------------------- 
 
Just one command should do it all: 
 
	nmake /f if_ole_vc.mak 
 
 
3. Updating the VC project manually 
----------------------------------- 
 
Start Visual Studio and load in the standard Vim makefile Gvim_vc.mak.  Make 
sure it's in dos fileformat, not in Unix.  I'm using Visual C++ 5.  The 
instructions may not match exactly for VC 4 (in fact, it may not be possible 
to build with VC4 - I'm not sure. Should be, though...) 
 
Add if_ole.cpp and if_ole.idl to the project. 
 
Add HAVE_OLE to the list of defines for the build process (I suppose this 
could go in feature.h, but the other interface code - Python and Perl - don't 
go in there).  Also add HAVE_OLE to the list of defines for the resources. 
 
Add a custom build step for if_ole.idl (right click on the file, and select 
Settings...) 
 
	Description: Generating OLE Interface 
	Command: midl /tlb vim.tlb /iid iid_ole.c 
		      /proxy nul /header if_ole.h $(InputPath) 
	Output files: iid_ole.c, if_ole.h, vim.tlb 
 
(the command is all on one line). 
 
Add libraries ole32.lib, oleaut32.lib, uuid.lib to the project 
settings, Link tab, Object/library modules. 
 
That's it (I think).  Build. 
 
Let me know if there are any problems.
