I have now added an example of creating COM objects with Ada to The Ada
Source Code Treasury -- http://www.botton.com/ada/os

I've decided to post the example despite that fact that it still has
some problems.

On ObjectAda everything works perfect as long as you don't try and
create any GUI stuff from the COM object (unless the COM object is being
called from an ObjectAda client then there is no problem at all with
anything). I am trying to figure out what is causing this to happen and
will post an update soon, I already have some ideas..... 

On GNAT it only partly works on NT and doesn't work at all on Win 95/98,
this is caused by a number of problems GNAT has with creating DLLs and
hopefully will be resolved as GNAT matures in its ability to create
DLLs. 
If any one has better luck getting the GNAT DLLs to work, then let me
know!
