The typelibs were built by me using the corresponding IDL from the Platform
SDK. The IDL is not complete enough as is to build into a type library (no
library statements for a start), but it's relatively easy to build a typelib
from it with a bit of tweaking.
I no longer have these libraries. When I generate any Win32 API or OLE stuff
now I tend to add the necessary pieces (if not already there) to the Win32
type library I have created derived from the old Mandelbrot Set Win32
typelib for VB.
