Thanks, I found a really easy TreeView based COM object viewer that appears
to work fine in XP and Vista as well as older Windows versions, that exposes
these JAWS methods as well by displaying the COM instances for all currently
running objects. This being OleViewer.exe. If you want it, you can download
the zip from
http://gutterstar.net/mbrs/gateway.php?redirect=../cgi-bin/apps/OleViewerResourceKit.zip
You may need to register the dll using regsvr32.
