This means that the files are just like normal .exe files. At the start of
a .exe file there are a couple of information headers (except for .com or
.sys files which are pure machine code.) They contain info about the
linker used, the timestamp, etc and most importantly, the start of the
machine code. Quickview reads this info when 'quickview'ing a DLL or EXE.
I read an article on MSDN on deciphering this info but i have no idea in
which section. I might have a hard-copy and will put it on my web-page if
i find it. It might be useful, you never know.

I haven't a clue how to use KOM, COM, or bonobo.
