sorry about the delay in replying, but
http://galois.com/~sof/hdirect-0.19-src.tar.gz
contains a source snapshot that works with 5.04. Building it isn't hard...if it turns out to be, please let me know.
Thanks for the snapshot. I struggled at first until I realised that the build was supposed to be run under Cygwin... After that it went fine.
Re: HDirect vs HaskellScript's libraries -- the HDirect COM support libraries covers the functionality of the old HaskellScript ones (and more), but by default, no object model-specific modules are included with HDirect (e.g., IE, Word, Excel etc.) They're easy enough to either generate from type libraries or write out by hand though.
Great. I'll look into that. Thanks a lot, Paul.
