============================================================================

Changes for 1.9.8 (18th November 2007)

Summary:

* compatibility with Borland C/C++ 5.82 (Turbo C++); now supports VOLE

Changes:

COMSTL:
-------

~ comstl/collections/collection_sequence.hpp has a #define hack, to make
retrievalQuanta a pre-processor replacement rather than a member
constant,
which avoids the erroneous compiler error with Borland C/C++ 5.82... read more

New article about VOLE on Code Project

The article "Driving Microsoft Word, using VOLE" is available on CodeProject, at http://www.codeproject.com/com/VOLE_word.asp.

It describes how VOLE can be used to dramatically simplify Microsoft's example of how to drive Word from C++. Using VOLE, the example condenses from over 200 lines of code to less than 40, each of which is simple and expressive.
