[Haskell-cafe] COM and Haskell

[Lennart Augustsson]

I've done things that are almost identical to what Neil suggests, and  
I've also done a lot of work on calling Haskell code from Excel via  
the Excel4 (XLL) API, but not so much work on calling COM from Haskell.
It's all doable, but it's a lot of work.  And the code I've written  
is proprietary, I'm afraid.
