This is my impression also.

Basis 1: Observation: E.g. client machine with Excel 2000: OL 9.0. My
machine: OL 10.0 and (no kidding) 5.0

Basis 2: Reductio ad a[db]surdum [1]: Where else would makepy be
getting its info from? Would we really expect pywin32 to have all the
info available to support all libraries ever used on any Windows
machine? How long would the download take? What would be the legal
implications of [re]distributing all that Microsoft-created stuff?

Cheers,
John

months! Who else will leap in and tell me which of adsurdum and
absurdum is better usage?
