I am trying to find ay info I can on the Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) spec from Microsoft. If anyone has any phone numbers/pricing info I would appreciate it. I'm assuming that it would come with some Dynamic Link Libs or the sort to integrate into your apps. Has anyone used the feature in Excel 3.0? I would appreciate any replies. I am also interested in getting it to work under OS/2...anyone heard anything???

I was at the Dec.11 developers conference in Seattle, and I received the DLL's and preliminary spec. then. The "outside" (or interface) specification, by the way, will not be changing - supposedly it is set. As for the OS/2 OLE DLL's, they will be available in several months. MacApp versions are expected somewhere around the end of the year. Good Luck! Regards |(:> --- Robert D. Thompson rdthomps@vela.acs.oakland.edu

I would also be interested in getting a copy (either email or ftp) of the
OLE toolkit. If anyone can provide it please let me know. Thanks, Marc

Both Compu$erve (in the MSOPSYS area) and Microsoft Offline have the documentation (in both Word and plain text formats) and sample apps plus DLLs. It should be enough to get you started provided you can get it to work. We were able to get the first posted version to run but the second version posted keeps telling us that it "Failed to register server" etc. Sigh. John Munsch

They have the documents (in text and Word format), along with the programming libs and example source. If you don't have Compuserve, you might find it on one of the Microsoft MSJ BBS's. They place code on GEnie, Channel1 and RamNet. mike Michael R. MacFaden IBM Palo Alto Marketing Systems mikem@ibmpa.awdpa.ibm.com, macfaden@paloic1.iinus1.ibm.com disclaimer: ..the usual...
