How do I Read & Create DOC files(Structured Storage Files)

Question

Structured Storage Files "DOC" Like the subject, I need to be able to read and create Structured Storage Files. I have not been able to find anything about this except for C++, which I do not know. currently i'm using a DOC viewer (eDoc) just to view them. But I need to do this programatically. Could anyone point me to a place where I can find info on how to achieve this? Thanks
