The information in this article applies to:
This article contains a list of errors in the text of the book "Inside OLE 2," by Kraig Brockschmidt (Microsoft Press).
Many of the errors listed below also affect the book's sample code; the descriptions for those errors include references to another Knowledge Base article, which describes the problems (and their solutions) in more detail.
For additional information on these problems and their solutions, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Page 71: The second line of the last paragraph should read "with all the
functions in the preceding table...". The book has "tale"

Also, on page 83 there should be no space between "book" and
"1632" in the text "#include <book 1632.h>".

book has IInterface2 as the parameter to QueryInterface,

"The Structured Storage definition of IStream allows streams
to contain up to 2^64 (2 raised to the 64th power)
addressable bytes of data."
The text incorrectly reads "264" instead of "2^64."

665: onto open streams for low-memory save situations. This is
important ONLY for elements that are entirely manipulated
by the handler and never touched by the server. The handler
should not cache or hold pointers to the same elements the
server must access. For more information on this problem, see
the section "Component Cosmo Fails to Release Polyline Object"
in the Knowledge Base article "SAMPLE: Corrections for Inside
OLE 2 Sample Code."
If a handler manipulates and changes data unaffected by
the server, it must fulfill the IPersistStorage contract for
only those formats. The server is responsible for all
others that it modifies.
