(Off list it was decided that Hubert would do that.)

Here's a newer version, which fixes images. I have found a Windows 3.0 and
Windows 3.1. Write seems to only insert monochrome (non-OLE) images, which
makes life easy. :-)

According to the docs, wmf files can also be embedded, but I really don't
know how to do this. Things can only be pasted into Write, and I don't
know how to get a metafile on the clipboard. Ideas anyone?

Apart from the character sets, the only big thing that is missing is
OLE objects. Is there any good OLE documentation somewhere? I don't have
a clue where to start.
