Now that is what I call progress - it is smaller than the old file, but it
works a lot better.
Thanks - if this is a general solution, perhaps Ruby can finally be used to
test COM components (and drive them) This is really great news.

This works:

require 'win32ole'
mdm = WIN32OLE.new('MDM.Document.2')
mdm.Save 'testfile.mdd'
#mdm._invoke(0x00000022, ['testfile_invoke.mdd'], [VT_BSTR])
mdm.Save
puts 'done'

thanks :-)
