I can hardly claim that BBC BASIC does COM 'well'.  It's a bit of a hack  
involving using a structure to represent the object's vTable and then  
pointing the structure at the object.  But there's a world of difference  
between being able to do it in a slightly inelegant way (e.g. BBC BASIC)  
and not being able to do it at all (e.g. Liberty Basic).
