yes, but that library wasn't meant to reproduce the OLE
architecture and embed apps, it is used to read OLE streams from
OLE files,
particularly, it was developed by a very good programmer - Ariya
Hidayat - working for the KOffice project, and it was used by
Ariya and me for creating a StarOffice 5.x import filter for
KOffice,
so I thought it could be used by BeOS apps for reading OLE files
(i.e.: Microsoft Office ones, when we will have an office suite
:)
thanks :)
