Subject: programmatic access to windows dlls on linux (FFI?)

We have a particularly important file that is in a binary, proprietary
format (annoying, yes).  But, the company releases a small, standalone
library with dlls for accessing the file format.

The dlls are all in one folder and interface the binary file through a
COM interface.  The functions are well documented.

Is there any way to build an FFI interface (or in some other way)
access the dll's to then read these files,
**but from within linux**?  I know I can use wine, but I'd like to not
have to use wine, if at all possible.  Is it possible?

Thanks in advance!
