That was me, and, yep, I'm still working on it. Still don't believe you :).
I just haven't had a lot of time, what with a 5 week old baby, business
trips, work and other coding projects (some for pay, some not).
To update my progress, I'm able to instantiate a com object and call
interfaces. Now it's just a matter of wrapping the interfaces. Right now
I'm working on a way to access ActiveX objects, since there are fewer
interfaces to worry about (you access properties and methods through
IDispatch::Invoke). Ultimately, I plan to write a program to read the
typelib of an object and spit out a wrapper.
Alternatively, it's almost trivial to wrap an interface if you have the .idl
file.

Well...
Since you asked so nicely... :P
Allright!
Now if only that pall could pull off a COM library for
Eu, I would port the C code for the dll to Euphoria,
and goodbye DLL!...
Still, you need to install DX anyways, so that means a
lot of DLLs...
But I still say: Eu->COM != TRUE...
