DDE COM Client v1.1.2
=====================

Introduction
------------

This is a COM component designed to allow access to DDE servers from Scripting
languages, such as VBScript. It provides support for the main DDE synchronous
transaction types: XTYP_REQUEST, XTYP_POKE and XTYP_EXECUTE through ad-hoc
queries and conversations. It also allows for querying running servers with
the XTYP_WILDCONNECT transaction type.

This tool forms one part of my DDE toolkit, with the others being:-

DDE Query: My original GUI based DDE query tool.
DDE Command: A console app for querying DDE servers.
