Can anyone help with this? I'm trying to get the source code
from an article that Robert Coleridge wrote. I've sent about
five emails to Microsoft, but the only reply I've received is that
they "forwarded" it to the "right" person. It's been several _weeks_.
Checking on Deja News, I found this:

>From: "Robert Coleridge" <a-ro...@microsoft.com>
>Date: 1997/04/16

[snip]

I thought, "What luck, this is the very article I'm seeking the source
to." You see, I downloaded the zip files from both the March 26 and the
May 15 versions of the paper, BUT they were both missing some of the VB
files. So why am I posting this request? After all the message above
says "send email". Of course, I tried this, but what do you suppose the
chances are of that email working? If you guessed "Slim to None and Slim
just walked out the door" you are correct. My email was returned as
undeliverable.

So does anyone know how to get in touch with the elusive Mr. Coleridge?
Does anyone know someone, who knows someone's brother, who has a cousin,
who can get in touch with Mr. Coleridge in less than seven steps?

Thanks for anyone's help. I am quite disillusioned with this whole thing.

This guy Coleridge is seemingly going out of his way to stay out of touch!
The Last issue of MSDN News has a side bar about all this ATL stuff, but
again, no contact info. Anyway, ms...@microsoft.com, looks like a good bet
to get a copy and or help.

I thought the same thing about ms...@microsoft.com; however, I've sent
them repeated emails which they seem quite content to ignore. (My
approach was to send one email a week, and it has been about four weeks!
I didn't send them multiple messages a day.) Hence, having tried my luck
there and failed, I'm now trying here. I don't doubt that with his role
at MSDN that Mr. Coleridge is busy and my not want to be deludged with
emails. In this situation, I don't even need to deal with him directly.
Anyone with proper access at usoft could send me the files I need.

Try posting your question here. You might get a better answer with samples.
