Re: OLE Automation and Lua

["Jeremy Darling" <jeremy.darling@...>]

Easiest way (that I know of) is to put it up some place for download (eg: luaforge) with a little bit of information and then list it on the Lua Users Projects page (http://www.lua.org/uses.html
).

I'm curious, does your update surface it as a DLL that can be required from a standard Lua script or do you have to completely re-build Lua to use it?  Either way, I'd love to get a copy and see if it solves my problem :).

I have ported LuaCOM to 5.1 but do not know how to donate it. (I'm not a
