cole is at
http://arturo.directmail.org/filtersweb/
it an ole lib that can write streams back into an ole file again.
Its based upon the andrew scriven code.

One suggestion that id like to make is that ive a fairly huge collection
of word files uploaded to me here (1 gig), and a stack of them have corrupt ole
streams and whatnot, it would be an idea for any ole writers to create
a little tester app that just opens all the streams and reads all of their
data out. So that myself and other testers can just let some automated
scripts cut loose over the collection to work out any bugs in the ole
code so as to make it rock solid.
