Blair,

thanks for your response.
Unfortunately I didn't discover it until now.

Could you point me in that direction?
I looked through the online docs, but I couldn't find the there mentioned
"COM Random stream" example.

I discovered all the COM Framework classes, but unfortunately don't know,
how to put this stuff together...

A little cook book like step by step example would be nice.

I believe, building a Dolphin based COM Server, is _more_ than interesting,
outside this "MS Office context" as well.
