Although this is for vista, I get the idea.
Basically what happens is that while I still think a file is a sequence
of bytes my OS suddenly has started thinking about the contents and
meaning of my files. I wasn't expecting that, so I was dumbfounded that
the utilities that used to work suddenly didn't behave as before. They
probably have advertised this increase in user friendliness extensively
and I have not paid attention. Conclusion: it is all my fault.
BTW is there a switch to tell the system that it can keep the PnP, the
USB support and the filesystems but otherwise stop trying to 'help' me
and behave like a simple windows 95 machine?

Yet, oddly enough, I've been using Tcl to invoke and serve COM in production
systems for ... oh, six or seven years?

Oddly enough, that too would be answered by putting
java "COM interface"
into google and clicking "I feel lucky."

Which implementation do you use?
Plus, you probably use Word and Excel, and they both support COM too.

Because one is the default file manager in OpenSUSE and the other is the
default file manager in Windows.

I actually did that at one stage. But it was on a normal CRT monitor back
then and everybody else complained that they couldn't find anything... ;)

Yeah, well, I had noticed that you seem to know far more about COM than
I do. (To me, "COM" is "that thing which apparently powers Windows but
that I can't actually get near".)

Smalltalk VisualWorks. I *think* it was v3.0...

You mean VBA supports COM?

One is *a* default file manager in OpenSUSE. :-)

Not so much, though, I prefer the darkness generally. ;-)

Not *that* much. Maybe a half a day's worth of learning?

http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/documentation/current/ReleaseNotes7.5.pdf
They were up to a version that supports it (7.5) five years ago. You were
working with V3.0. Perhaps you were using a pre-COM version that wouldn't
run under Win98 or something?

How do you think VBA talks to the application? Of course it supports COM.
That's pretty much *all* it supports. It doesn't really do anything on its own.
