Re: strings chopped in half using COM objects

Hi, I think this is because the COM support in the current 4.08 dev version is only half complete. I believe that it's in the middle of having full unicode support being added to it so there are still some problems with string lengths. It's probably going to be this way for a while yet. Use one of the 4.07 release candidates, I haven't found any problems with those yet.
