MORE INFORMATION
The second edition of the OLE 2 Programmer's Reference, Volume 2 can be
obtained from Microsoft Press.
The documentation and samples can also be obtained from the Windows 32 SDK
for Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51.
The WIN16 directory contains 16-bit versions of the samples, and the WIN32
directory contains a version that you can compile for 16-bit or 32-bit by
changing the dev option in the makefile to compile for 16- or 32-bit and
changing the HOST option to compile a 32-bit version for Windows NT or for
Windows 95. The .REG entries for the samples in the WIN32 directory are set
up for 32-bit, so you need to change them to the 16-bit keys if you are
compiling for the 16-bit environment.
The 32-bit version of the samples for NT use Unicode.
The 32-bit version of the samples for Windows 95 use Unicode with the OLE
API and interfaces and use ANSI with the Windows 95 API. This is because
Windows 95 uses ANSI and 32-bit OLE uses Unicode, regardless of the
platform. The samples do the appropriate Unicode-to-ANSI conversions to
support this.
See the README.TXT file for each sample for more details.
