Hi all,
   Hot on the heels of being happy to announce build 215, I'm fairly 
nonchalant about announcing the release of pywin32 build 216 <wink>.

This release is primarily to address some build related issues in build 
215.  If you use pywin32 to host COM objects (as opposed to simply using 
COM objects), use it to host IIS ISAPI applications, or wish to use the 
adodbapi package on Python 3.x, you should upgrade to build 216.  The 
changes in this release are:

* If you hosted COM objects or used ISAPI, your object/app would 
probably have failed to load, probably with a message related to 
msvcr90.dll - this has been fixed.  In the case of COM, it has been 
fixed by introducing a new DLL as a "loader" for COM objects 
(pythoncomloaderxx.dll) which delegates to pythoncomxx.dll, but has an 
appropriate "manifest".

* ISAPI apps could also crash when using GetServerVariable for an 
unknown variable on Windows 7.

* adodbapi for Python 3.x builds have had syntax errors fixed.

* Pythonwin now prints (ie, to a printer) correctly on Python 3.x and 
allows the background color of the selection to be customized.

* A number of test related changes.

As always, thanks to everyone who contributed (both code and issues) to 
this release!
