Sadly, I have no win9x computers to test on, and I wonder if the OLE problems on win9x have been fixed.

I'm testing it right now on Win9x

It looks as if Ruud has made some inroads in getting OLE working on 9x (that old problem with objects returning doo-doo addresses is gone) but now there are new issues on 9x. But they seem more in line with (similar to) the issues on the other platforms.

This is good to know, Thanks Shawn.

The following script using Microsoft agents works on my Win95.

code:

---

Break On
$Err = SetConsole("minimize")
$agent_control = "agent.control.2"
$agent_name = "Merlin"
$agent_path = "%WinDir%\msagent\chars\$agent_name.acs"
$agent = CreateObject ("$agent_control" )
$agent.connected = "1"
$characters = $agent.characters
$Err = $characters.load("$agent_name","$agent_path")
$character = $characters.character("$agent_name")
$Err = $character.show
$Err = $character.play("announce")
$Err = $character.play("greet")
$Err = $character.speak("Greetings %username% !")
$Err = $character.speak("This is your logon script ... ")
$Err = $character.play("read" )
$Err = $character.speak("Checking group membership ...")
$Err = $character.play("readcontinued")
$Err = $character.play("readreturn")
$Err = $character.play("domagic1" )
$Err = $character.speak("Adding the network drives")
$Err = $character.play("domagic2")
$Err = $character.play("congratulate")
$Err = $character.speak("Success .....................")
$Done = $character.play("wave")
For $counter = 1 To 40 
	? $Done.status
	Sleep 1
Next
$Err = $character.hide 
Return

I had hoped that i could use a script like this:

code:

---

Break On
$Err = SetConsole("minimize")
$agent_control = "agent.control.2"
$agent_name = "Merlin"
$agent_path = "%WinDir%\msagent\chars\$agent_name.acs"
$agent = CreateObject ("$agent_control")
$agent.connected = "1"
$characters = $agent.characters
$Err = $characters.load("$agent_name","$agent_path")
$character = $characters.character("$agent_name")
$Err = $character.show
$Err = $character.play("announce")
$Err = $character.play("greet")
$Err = $character.speak("Greetings %username% !")
$Err = $character.speak("This is your logon script ... ")
$Err = $character.play("read")
$Err = $character.speak("Checking group membership ...")
$Err = $character.play("readcontinued")
$Err = $character.play("readreturn")
$Err = $character.play("domagic1")
$Err = $character.speak("Adding the network drives")
$Err = $character.play("domagic2")
$Err = $character.play("congratulate")
$Err = $character.speak("Success .....................")
$Done = $character.play("wave")
Do 
	Sleep 1
Until $Done.status = 0 Or $Done.status = 1 Or $Done.status = 3
; Status: 0 = Completed 1 = Failed 3 = Interrupted
$Err = $character.hide 
Return

I haven't testet the last script on NT, so I don't know if it would work there.
Maybe it's something that will be fixed in the final release.

By the way is there any way of using events for COM-objects.
