EiffelCOM examples: where do I find compound files?

[Rosivaldo Fernandes Alves]

I have built the example system
$(ISE_EIFFEL)\examples\com\compound\compound.ECF. So far so good. But
that system asks to open compound files. I simply don't know where to
find such a kind of file to open. I've looked up for .cdf files and have
found a lot of .cdf-ms files, but the system cannot open any of them. I
always get a message reading

---------------------------
Read error
---------------------------
Sorry, not a compound file.
---------------------------

Does some one know where can I find "compound" that can be open by
compound.exe?

Thanks in advance.

Rosivaldo.

Compound files are those created by Microsoft Word (and family). So, if can find a .doc file, the example would show its internal structure. Note that this applies to an old .doc format, not the newer one, based on XML.

Thanks, Alexander. Indeed .doc files get open as "compound" files.

Best regards,

Rosivaldo.
