Is there a way in Delphi 7 to generate a tlb from an idl? Or even from a class/ interface definition?

In Delphi 7 one of the easiest ways is to copy/paste the IDL into the Type Library editor source window. NOT the *_TLB.pas source unit 'behind' the type library, but the type library editor itself.
I don't have D7 to hand right now, but iirc you may have to set the "Type Library Language" option in the IDE settings to IDL rather than Pascal. And I also seem to recall that this technique could be sensitive to "exotic" IDL (i.e. didn't always work), but if the IDL in question is relatively straightforward, this may work for you.
