Thanks for this info.

I have been studying GNATCOM for a while now and am just beginning to
appreciate what it can do. The fact that the Ada world can now, via a
language independant COM / COM+ interface, access just about everything
ever written for a (Microsoft) PC is a huge advance for Ada.

I suspect the Ada community has yet to appreciate this product ...

Would encourage others to look into this.

Will give it a try.
