-This is the new php5 COM module.
-
-It is not 100% backwards compatible with PHP 4 ext/com, but you should not miss
-the "features" that have not been retained.
-
-This module exposes 3 classes: variant, com and dotnet(*).
-com and dotnet classes are descendants of the variant class; the only
-difference between the three are their constructors.  Once instantiated, the
-module doesn't make a distinction between them.
-
-COM errrors are mapped to exceptions; you should protect your COM code using
-the try..catch construct if you want to be able to handle error conditions.
-
-Be warned that due to the way the ZE2 currently works, exceptions are only
-"armed" at the time they are detected, but do not "detonate" until the end of
-the statement.  So, code like this:
-
-  $obj->foo[43]->bar();
-
-Where the foo[43] access triggers an exception will continue to call the bar()
-method on a null object and cause a fatal php error.
-
-Default properties and array access:
-
-$obj = new COM("...");
-$obj[1]->foo();
-
-The code above will use the type information for the object to determine its
-default property and then access it.  In PHP 4, it was hard-coded to use the
-"Items" member, which was wrong.
-
-The default property will also be used by the casting support to determine the
-value for the object.
-
-Variants:
-
-This implementation of COM takes a simpler approach than the PHP 4 version;
-we only map a few native types to COM and vice-versa, leaving the more complex
-things as variants.  This allows greater consistency of data when passing
-parameters to and from COM objects (no data will be lost).  In addition, a
-large number of the variant API has been mapped to PHP space so that you can
-use it for working with the special variant decimal, currency and date time
-types.  This could be used as a replacement for the bcmath extension, for
-example.
-
-You can use the new object casting hook to for a php-native representation of
-a variant object:
-
-$a = new variant(4);
-$b = new variant(6);
-$c = variant_add($a, $b);
-echo $c; // outputs 10 as a string, instead of Object
-
-Sample Script:
-
-<?php
-$word = new COM("word.application");
-print "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n"; 
-$word->Visible = 1; 
-$word->Documents->Add(); 
-$word->Selection->TypeText("This is a test..."); 
-$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("Useless test.doc"); 
-$word->Quit(); 
-?>

-TODO:
-
-- documentation
-
-* dotnet support requires that you have the mscoree.h header from the .net sdk
-  when you build the module.
