General question on compiling COM with PY2EXE

[Larry Bates]

Marc,

You may want to take a look at the following articles
written by PY2EXE author:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/543305

and

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/766627

also take a look at:

There are some command-line options required to build
COM servers.

They helped me get my COM server app frozen and working.
