Dear Bob,

  I've collected many proofs to show myself that it does not 
work on Borland C++ 5.02. These are the following:

1. I've tried to change the target of AUTOGEN from 16 to 32 bit
and the same problem showed up. I tried to restrict the code
but it did not help.

2. When I change the target of the code to 16 bit it works but
in 32 bit it does not.

3. I downloaded some code fragments from Microsoft. They also
included compiled EXE files. When I compile them using bcc32
they don't work, but when I run the original EXE files they
work. The file are included in self extraction file TLBDBG.EXE.

4. The code that I run is the following

//
// Win32
//
#include <windows.h>
#include <ole2.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  CoInitialize(0);

  ITypeLib* typeLib;
  HRESULT hr = LoadTypeLib((wchar_t *)argv[1], typeLib);
  .
  .
  .

  CoUninitialize();
}
