That's what I ended up doing - the default skeleton is way too complicated.
Ten minutes of making a new DLL and coping a little source code from other
projects seemed easier than installing awk, etc.

Actually, I used the header and lib files from the source tarball, but I
copied the extension DLL into the php5/ext directory and use dl() to load
it - no recompile of any PHP server code. Everything works fine and when
I'm done I'll add my extension to php.ini and make the install permanent.


Now if I can only get the C code to call a COM object...


Thanks for the input,
Lee
