realexplodingcat"Be aware that the type library doesn't let you reimport a type library that has been previously exported by the type library exporter. In other words, if you try to use tlbimp.exe on hello.tlb, which was generated by tlbexp.exe, tlbimp.exe will barf at you."
"Barf" is a word that should be in the vocabulary of every technical writer.

Funny schtuff. I think my fav is Clue to Users. And the Tracing Spammers with the guilletine is classic. :)

Then again, I'd rather see the word "barf" than see "$string("Hello world!")" or "foo" or "bar" or any varient of FUBAR... I'm going to beat someone with a dead cow if I have to read another programming book with those examples.

I can make a concession for the Hello World. It's a quaint tradition. Although I often change it to "hollow world."
