No, its not obvious :-). But I think the best thing would be for you to
manually check out the source and documentation from CVS, as both have
been heavily updated since our last binary release (which I suppose you
are using?).

After this, you should probably consult at least the following places in
the documentation:
        docs/jawinuserguide_vtable.html (especially section 1, with a "quick'n
dirty overview of COM terms").
and
        docs/jawinuserguide_dispatch.html (which contains specific information
on using DispatchPtr).

You should do the CVS check and building of the Java-source (you don't
need to build the native DLL, it is checked into CVS) as described here:
        http://jawinproject.sourceforge.net/jawindeveloper.html

You should after this also try to use the Jawin Type Browser again to
generate stub-code, as we may have added configuration for your exact
"return object" problem (from you other mail). But we made this
additions late last summer, so I am not sure (unfortunately our project
admin, haven't had time to make a binary release, thats why you need to
manually check out the source).

Good luck with it, and please let us know how it goes.
Best regards
