I once actually did - for a collection of self-made icons I wanted to
have displayed for certain files in Windows Explorer.

I see. So without the magic table that tells you the index of each
function pointer, you can't play with COM?

Why not just have a bunch of .ico files?

Naughty mascot. You don't have the license to create plugins. How much
is the SDK?

I just object to paying money for somebody to tell me the code numbers
of a set of functions, that's all.
for an envelope containing a sheet of paper with a number printed on it.
Like, WTF?)
It's not like I'm going to build a multi-million dollar software product
and not pay Steinburg. I'm only tinkering. ;-)

Pretty much.
Even if every function had been exposed directly in DLL export tables, you
would be no better off because you would still need to know the function
signatures. The bottom line is that you cannot reasonably expect to use an
interface (of any kind, not just COM) without documentation.

Yeah, figures.

Because it would be a bunch of .ico files? lol Sort of the same reason
they make zipped files, or one sort or another, with games, for levels.
You just download/update *one* file, not dozens. Though, unlike dlls,
patchers will tend to use something similar to the "add to .zip/.rar"
function when updating things. Even windows uses icons in a dll, keeping
all the default ones in a single source file, which gets shown in cases
like where you have a file that doesn't have its own internal icon, and
you try to change the one being used.
But, yeah. I forgot that dlls can also just be sort of like resource
forks too.

Hehe, we just paid about 4000 pounds for a 46 byte text file :-)
