[Zope] COMObject How-To

[Arpad Kiss]

The original COMObject doesn't work in Zope 2.0. You have to modify the
product as the error message say. Before the call of dispatch it needs a
call of Coinitialize(in a multithreaded environment you have to use
Coinitialize once before any Dispatches). I can send a modified version if
you need.
Best regards,
