1. win32lib & ole
Derek,
I was just looking over the new win32lib, and noticed that you've
slipped a new file in there without mentioning it in the changes. I'm
curious about the...er...tentative start to OLE support.
Did you have something in particular in mind? I ask because I'd hate to
see you try to reinvent the wheel on this one, because you could
probably drop EuCOM right in (I've use it with win32lib quite a
bit--though it's happy with or without win32lib). It's actually got a
fairly win32lib'ish feel to it, IMHO, and while not complete or perfect,
really allows you to do a lot of neat things (especially when combined
with its tbrowse utility).

That's because I didn't want to highlight it ...

... because I'm not planning OLE support. EuCOM is doing that, right?
However, I put in support for the getFileInfo call which (for some unknown
reason) needs to call OleInitialize() before using. So that's the only
reason I started the w32ole.ew file.

Derek,
I think that getFileInfo doesn't needs OLE Initialization.
I commented ole:OleInitialize() in winfile.ew and fileprop.exw
works fine.

You may be correct, but quoting the Microsoft SDK - "You must initialize COM
with CoInitialize or OLEInitialize prior to calling SHGetFileInfo."
