If you're trying to implement OLE Compound Document support from scratch, it sounds like a big job and I can't help you much. In my experience, microsoft file formats are very poorly documented.
I'm not thinking implementing OLE Compound Document support from scratch, it sounds like a big jod, a very big one :). What I'm doing now is part of a biggest project, so I have no time for that.
The library needs to be cleaned up a lot before I can post it. If there is sufficient interest, I'll try to do it, but it would be at least a couple months from now, since I'll be busy trying to get iostreams ready for 1.33.
There is interest in the library, and I'm sure some other have interest too. iostream is a great step ahead in C++, but with this kind of support for compressed, OLE files and maybe more, it will be just fantastic. It is fantastic to compress and decompress file in just 6 lines of code dont you think? :) Let's think I have to use other library, i.e. libgsf from GNU. I have the following doubt. I have a single OLE file, I open() it using a boost::io stream, how more than one stream can be obtained from a single one, taking this OLE file has more than one contained file? The same reasoning could be applied to compressed files. How to extract more than one compressed file using Iostream.
